A stalker has been jailed for five months because he could not provide a home address.
Sheriff John Herald had deferred sentencing on Vernon Davies, 25, for a psychological report until August 29, when Davies’ defence agent Edward Thornton told Oban Sheriff Court: ‘Mr Davies is willing to engage with mental health services. However, the brick wall I have run into is I cannot give any address for Mr Davies.’
Sheriff Herald said Mr Thornton would have had ‘little diffculty’ persuading him a community payback order was appropriate, with conditions Davies underwent mental health treatment and did not approach the victim. But, he added: ‘I cannot impose such an order where you are homeless. If anybody needs some form of treatment, it is you.
