AN ABUSIVE Herefordshire woman has been fined after causing fear of or provoking unlawful violence.
Bridget Warner entered a guilty plea to one count of using threatening, abusive or insulting words with intent to cause fear of or provoke violence when she appeared before magistrates in Hereford last month.
The court heard from solicitor Lauren Millichip that Warner, 32, had used threatening, abusive or insulting words with intent to cause fear of or provoke violence in an incident in Hereford in July.
Magistrates in Hereford were told that the alleged victim did not complain about the words, despite apparently being caused to fear that immediate unlawful violence would be used against her or being provoked.

Warner, of Cheaton Close, Leominster, was handed a £160 fine, with magistrates saying they had taken her guilty plea into account.
She was not ordered to pay any compensation to the alleged victim.
Prosecution costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £48 were ordered.
