A 75-YEAR-OLD man was fined £500 and sentenced to a 60-hour community payback order for a ‘serious’ offence of following a woman and causing her ‘distress and upset’.
Edward Freill Dewar, of 64 Limecraigs Road, Campbeltown, was found guilty at the town’s sheriff court in January of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and causing fear or alarm on November 2, 2016, by following a woman, first in his vehicle and then into Campbeltown’s Co-Op, where he covertly watched her, approached her and raised his hand at her. Following reports, Dewar appeared at Oban Sheriff Court for sentencing on Wednesday March 1. Defence agent Jane McLaren said: ‘He is a low risk of offending. He had tried to keep away from the complainer. He should have left the premises and not returned until he knew she was not there.’
Sheriff Shelagh Mc-Call said: ‘It was not a case of happening upon this girl. There has been distress and upset caused. My view of the offence is a serious one. The gravity is underestimated by the social worker.’
