Helen Linda Johnson, 75, of Glebe Cottages in School Lane, appeared at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (January 4) where she pleaded guilty to a course of harassment against two neighbouring residents by attending their address, banging on their door, and sending numerous unwanted letters between March 1 and October 25 last year.

Johnson was fined £100 and ordered to pay a £30 victim surcharge, and a restraining order was imposed which prohibited Johnson from contacting the victims or attending their address for 12 months.

However, on the same day, Johnson attended the victims’ address and posted a letter through their door.

She pleaded guilty to this offence when she appeared at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court two days later, on Saturday (January 6).

Johnson was fined a further £120, and ordered to pay £85 in court costs and a £30 victim surcharge.
