A CASE against a man accused of threatening to blow up his house in a stand-off with police has been dropped.

It was claimed that Christopher Judd, of Overdale, Matlock, had threatened to torch the building to prevent police getting inside and arresting him following an alleged altercation with a neighbour.

The 44-year-old had denied affray and threatening to destroy or damage his home in a way that would endanger lives.
