| Wimbledon Magistrates Court |
An ex-boyfriend
was caught on CCTV speeding towards his one-time partner in a Lidl
supermarket car park to abuse her during a harassment campaign after
their split.
Daniel Mills, 37,
of Sutherland Avenue, Sunbury-on-Thames had also bombarded
mother-of-four Stacey Young with texts and phone calls during the
two-week period.
He appeared in
custody at Wimbledon Magistrates Court, where he was convicted of
harassing Ms Young, of Mount Road, Mitcham between November 28 and
December 11, last year.
Mills was remanded
in custody to appear at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court for
sentencing.
The couple were
together five years, he told the trial, claiming he left her on
November 4, last year.
“I'd had enough
of the way things were in the house, the childrens' behaviour,” he
said, denying he sent texts and made calls. “I didn't have a mobile
phone.”
CCTV captured him
driving aggressively towards Ms Young on December 8.
She told the court
he shouted through his open driver's-side window: “You fat slag. No
one's going to want you.”
Mills claimed he
did not shout abuse, but wanted to give his opinion on why she
snubbed the funeral of one of his relatives.
“I just thought
it was so disrespectful not to attend the funeral. She did not even
send any flowers.
“I did not go
there to threaten her. I just saw her and expressed my opinion.”
The magistrates
dismissed Mills' explanation and their chairperson announced: “We
don't believe the version of events put forward by Mr. Mills.
“He is able to
use mobile phones to make calls and send texts, which contain
numerous threats and he did verbally abuse her in the car park.”
The court heard
Mills has already been convicted of other counts relating to Ms
Young, including witness intimidation.
He had warned her:
“You won't win the case. I don't care if I go to prison, I aint
gonna stop.
“You won't be
able to live in Mitcham anymore. You could have dropped all this
bollocks.
“Watch what
happens when I get you, you dog, you c***.”
