Man who SQUIRTED LIQUID MANURE through neighbour’s letterbox to be sentenced

Man who SQUIRTED LIQUID MANURE through neighbour’s letterbox to be sentenced

A Moray man who attacked the home of his former neighbours with a liquid and manure mixture will be sentenced tomorrow at Peterhead Sheriff Court.

Stewart Reid, 62, plead guilty to the offence on February 2 when Sheriff Andrew Miller heard that he had been carrying a knife when police officers searched his belongings.

Reid, who was said to be “wholly embarrassed” by his actions by his defence agent – Gail Wiggins – had driven from his Portknockie home to New Aberdour’s High Street to carry out the attack on the property after holding a six-year grudge with its occupants over dog fouling.

Fiscal Stephanie Ross told the court that Reid, who knew the residents of the house from when he used to live in the village, sprayed the foul-smelling, brown liquid through the letterbox using a bottle at around 4am on September 5 last year.

The court heard that he had also splashed paint on the outside of the home before running away.

He was caught by the property owners’ son who saw Reid making his way out of a lane.

His car, which was parked outside the village and searched by officers, contained more bottles of both the manure and liquid mixture and paint.

Ms Ross added: “At that point he said he’d pay for the damage and was sorry.

“There had been an altercation some six years ago. Matters had been getting to him since then.”

The post-attack clean-up cost about £200.

Sheriff Miller had deferred the case for sentencing when it last called for background reports on Reid.
