AN ABUSIVE Hereford woman has been handed a community order after harassing two people.

Sammie Oldham entered guilty pleas to two counts of using threatening, abusive or insulting words to cause harassment, alarm or distress when she appeared before magistrates in Hereford this month.

The court heard from Lauren Millichip that the 31-year-old had used threatening, abusive, or insulting words with intent to cause two people harassment, alarm or distress in an incident in Hereford on June 15 last year.

Magistrates in Hereford were told that the two victims were aged under 18, with a reporting restriction in place to protect their identities.

Oldham, of Lowfield Meadow, Kingstone, was handed a 12-month community order, with magistrates saying they had taken her guilty plea into account when imposing the penalty.

She was also ordered to pay a fine of £50, but no prosecution costs or victim surcharges were ordered to be paid due to the defendant’s limited means.
