A man cut a hole in the neighbor’s fence to get a better view of the mountains from the bedroom window –

The man was convicted of committing a “chain of petty acts” that harassed his neighbour. Alexander Edwards’ harassment campaign involved digging a hole in a neighbor’s fence to get a better view of the mountains from his bedroom window.

Edwards also turned on a flashlight in front of a neighbor’s surveillance camera, sang rap, and made the dog bark late into the night. Ian Cox, victim of Edwards’ harassment, filed a complaint with the board of directors and Edwards pleaded guilty on Wednesday, March 30.

A Llandudno Magistrate’s Court judge ordered Edwards to work 80 hours a day. The court heard that it was Edwards’ mother Jane who quarreled with her neighbor Cox, and when Edwards moved in with her in Bengart, Conway, Wales, she was on the waiting list, North Wales Live reports.

Attorney Ryan Jackson said Mr. Cox reported the problems to Ms. Edwards to Conway Council in 2014. An antisocial behavior officer helped him and advised him to keep a journal. Mr. Cox also installed a CCTV camera.

In 2020, a hole appeared in Mr. Cox’s fence. There was no video footage of the author, but Edwards later admitted that he did so “so he could see the view of the mountains from his bedroom window.”

But there was footage of Edwards lighting a flashlight at night with his CCTV camera. The court heard Edwards invited the dogs into the kennel in the middle of the night or one in the afternoon.

In another incident, Edwards sang Mr. Cox’s words. This included the phrase “I am against ****** I will kill you,” the attorney general said.

Today’s issue is devoted to a series of incidents from July 2021 to January of this year, which was an insult. Prosecutors said a person subsequently convicted punched a hole, several square feet, in Mr Cox’s fence on July 5 without permission.

Then Edwards raised his middle finger to Mr. Cox on their street on August 2. He did the same to Mr. Cox in his truck, then ran away, causing an alarm on January 4.

On that day he spat in the window of Mr. Cox’s truck. In an affidavit for the victim, Mr Cox said the accidents meant he couldn’t use his garden and that he didn’t want to walk on their property.

“He just wants to survive and live normally,” the attorney general said. Graham Berry, who defended, said Edwards was looking out over the valley before the fence got out of hand.

He said that the accused was allowed to cut the fence, even if it was on his side. District Judge Gwen Jones told Edward in court, “For some reason you got into an argument that isn’t yours.

“Whatever the rights and wrongs in this matter, you took a number of small actions that harassed your neighbour. It was antisocial behaviour.”

The district judge noted that Edwards had never been “disturbed by the courts” before, but added, “I am pleased that this crime is serious enough to warrant public order.” In addition to imposing a 12-month general order to do paid work, the district judge issued a four-year restraining order prohibiting defendants from contacting or contacting Ian Cox directly or indirectly.

It also prevents him from entering any property occupied by Mr. Cox. The defendant will also have to pay £85 in fees and £95 in surcharges.
