A Dolgellau man has been jailed for six months for threatening behaviour.
Christopher Holland (38) twice breached a community protection notice, which was meant to prevent him from being abusive or intimidating towards others.
The notice was served in September following a previous incident, but last month, Holland followed a man on Dolgellau High Street and intimidated him by making punching gestures.
He then stood in front of the man's car to stop him from leaving.
Just three days later, Holland attended an appointment when he became aggressive and made threats of violence.
He was charged with two counts of failing to comply with the protection notice and sentenced to 26 weeks in prison at Caernarfon Magistrates Court.
Following sentencing on Wednesday, District Inspector Iwan Jones of North Wales Police said: "I am aware that Holland’s behaviour has caused concern among local residents and businesses."
"The community are key to resolving anti-social behaviour issues and I would thank the individuals that came forward and provided evidence that allowed officers to take action."
"I hope this result provides reassurance that we are listening and will continue to act to make people to feel safe to live, work and visit Dolgellau."
