I was wonder if of you have had the experience of you partner being taken to court for being a nuisance neighbour due to their Dementia.
My wife was accused of throwing things over a neighbours fence last year, things like rubbish, cat faeces n dead mice and rats, they claim to have CCTV evidence of it..well they have the stuff on the ground & my wife near the fence but none of it of her actually throwing it over.
The neighbour did pop round to have a few words about it a few times, a I could do was deny that she'd done it because I hadn't witnessed her doing it at any time.
Then my wife got into an argument with our other neighbour outside on the public footpath over a can my wife had found on our front garden n was accused by said neighbour of throwing said can onto her front garden, as a result they both got in a heated argument resulting in the said neighbour supposedly being threatened with the can.
I thought that it had all blown over to after that till a police man called on my wife while I was at work to talk to her n take a statement. First I knew of this was when I had just finished work that afternoon, phoned my wife n she told me there was a policeman there talking to her.
I quickly rushed home, n he was still there talking to her, he'd taken a statement n got her to sign it in front of me without her having a chance to read it.
He left saying that he would need to see what his supervising officer wanted do about the case n that was last we heard, till we received a letter a few months later notifying her that she had been charged with Harassment of one neighbour and Threatening n behaviour of the other neighbour!
She appeared in court last July and we pleaded guilty to the charge to get it over and done with quick, even though she may not have been guilty, we wanted to spare her the ordeal of a long court trial with way she is.
She was fined n given a Good Behaviour Order for 12 months of which she has four month to do.
Now months later one neighbour has started saying my wife has been throwing grass and bottles on her front garden, we have been to view the CCTV footage n it's virtually worthless as evidence. Just waiting now to hear what will happen.
