A 28-year-old Blenheim man left abusive messages on his girlfriend's phone because he was frustrated, police say.
In the Blenheim District Court on Monday, Brooke William Adams admitted misusing a telephone by leaving voice messages on the woman's phone.
He was fined $800 and ordered to pay court costs.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Graham Single said Adams made 19 calls to the woman's cellphone within half an hour on March 1 and made multiple calls on other days. She ignored many of the calls.
Adams told police he made the calls out of anger and frustration.
Defence counsel Rob Harrison said it was a "two-way street", with the girlfriend making abusive comments to Adams.
Adams knew the calls were excessive and over the top and the relationship had ended, Mr Harrison said.
Judge Ian Mill called the language "pretty disgraceful".
