The man involved then received 62 messages from Orr the next day, including threats of violence.
Orr later went to the man’s house shouting for him to come out and fight.

He admitted that on August 3 he sent a number of messages on Facebook to Craig Gibson that were grossly offensive and repeatedly made threats of violence.

Depute fiscal Azrah Yousaf said there had been an incident between Mr Gibson and another man in a pub in Lochgelly.
