But Amy Williams, 24, was spared jail despite also shouting vile threats at Michael Warburton, understood to be in his late 50s. The couple had only been together for just four weeks when the row ensued, Liverpool Echo reports.

A court heard Mr Warburton claimed the relationship was “casual” but Williams didn’t agree, and her solicitor said the pair broke up after “discovering he had been unfaithful”.

Williams chucked dog faeces on the man’s driveway and eggs on the windows of his home in Birkenhead, Merseyside.

On Thursday, the woman appeared at Liverpool Magistrates Court to plead guilty to harassment and using threatening words, charges relating to her campaign of revenge against Mr Warburton between November 12 last year and January 6, 2021.

Magistrate Goulding sentenced Williams to an 18-month community ordered a six-month alcohol treatment requirement to be completed.

Williams was fined £120 and ordered to pay costs of £80 and a victim surcharge of £95.

A restraining order preventing her from contacting her victim, two other males and his female friend was also imposed for two years.

Ben Stanley, prosecuting, explained that the couple had been neighbours before they started speaking on an online dating site, beginning a relationship which lasted around four weeks.

“He states it was agreed the relationship would be casual and everything was going well until he had a female friend who came to visit him,” the lawyer said.

He said he “started to receive abusive text messages from the defendant” as well as phone calls.

Mr Stanley said on December 12, Mr Warburton had been on the phone to Williams and hung up when his female friend arrived, telling her he had a visitor.

Mr Warburton’s son, who lived next door, said he had seen Williams at the end of the drive shouting abuse.

Mr Stanley explained Mr Warburton then called police and following that incident he “had seen her standing opposite the property a number of times”.

He added she had “thrown eggs at his windows and thrown dog faeces on the driveway”.

Mr Stanley said: “On December 25 he saw her outside his address standing with an unknown male and a dog, they had been stood there for some time.”

On another occasion Mr Stanley explained there were three women outside Mr Warburton’s property who threatened “I’ll smash your face in”, “I’m going to kill you” and “you’re dead”.

Mr Stanley told the court Williams had shouted on another occasion “You’re going to get it you f****** p****.”

Williams has three convictions for five offences but the court heard these offences were dissimilar in nature and the last offence took place in February 2019 in relation to a conviction for owning a dangerous dog.

Catherine Higham, defending, said that although the relationship was brief Williams “did form an attachment” adding that there “appears to be some discrepancy” between her understanding of the relationship and Mr Warburton’s.

She said that the breakdown of the relationship “came about after discovering the complainant had been unfaithful.”

Ms Higham said that there was an age difference of around 35 years between Williams and Mr Warburton.

She added: “She fully accepts her behaviour was unreasonable.”

Ms Higham explained Williams had pleaded guilty at the first opportunity and that there had been no further incident while she had been on bail.

She added that Williams, of Birkenhead, has been diagnosed with ADHD, depression and anxiety and has a support worker.

Mis Higham explained that while in a relationship with the complainant Williams had begun drinking again but has now made efforts to voluntarily reduce her alcohol intake.

Mis Higham said Williams “wants nothing further to do with the complainant” and “acknowledges she has caused some distress to the complainant”.

She said: “She presents as somebody who regrets her actions and is embarrassed by her behaviour.”
