A CREEPY stalker who ignored a court order and continued to harass his ex-girlfriend has been jailed for two years.
Brian Verbarg showed up at her yoga classes and sent a dozen roses to her home on Valentines Day this year.
He also kept tabs on her with the help of a girlfriend of another man.
The 39-year-old had pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to acting in a threatening and abusive manner.
Verbarg admitted to breaching a different non-harassment imposed in November last year by contacting the woman.

Sheriff Martin Jones QC jailed him and granted a non-harassment order on the victim for five years.
The court heard the couple were together for a year and separated in June 2017.
Verbarg showed up on at least two occasions at the woman’s yoga classes and stared at her.
Prosecutor Mark Allan said: “She became alarmed and spoke to a friend at the class to walk her home as she was too scared to do so on her own.”
On Valentine’s Day this year, the woman found a dozen roses and a card at her home.
It read: “Happy Valentine’s Day, love the red fern” which was a reference to a favourite book of Verbarg’s.
