A "neighbour from hell" was back before magistrates a week after she admitted yelling abuse over the garden fence.

Sarah Davis appeared over the video link from Melksham police station on the final weekend of May, admitting breaching a community protection notice banning her from causing a nuisance to her neighbours on Carpenter Close, Chippenham.

On that occasion, JPs heard the 50-year-old had subjected next door neighbours to a stream of foul-mouthed invective – including threatening to call the police on them if they didn’t dial the cops.

A week later, on Saturday, she was back before the bench. She pleaded guilty to failing to comply with a community protection notice between June 4 and 5 by being abusive towards neighbours and threatening to kill one of them, and using threatening or abusive language towards a police constable and a member of the public. She also admitted behaving in an indecent manner – an offence under the 1847 Town Police Clauses Act – by calling a constable a stream of rude names and threatening to kill her.

The court log records she had to be removed from the video link room at Melksham police station due to her behaviour.

She was remanded in custody to appear before Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on June 16 for sentence.
