A WOMAN who carried out a campaign of hate against her neighbours has been warned not to start another dispute as she moves into a new street.

Elizabeth Thornton, 48, continually taunted her victims and told them she’d get away with it “because I’m registered mental and you’re not”.

As reported by the Evening Times previously, on September 14 last year within Braeside Street, the accused threatened her neighbours and made remarks of an offensive nature.

Thornton entered a close with a stereo and started dancing to sectarian songs whilst banging on the complainers’ door.

She shouted: “No surrender, fenian b*******, up to my knees in fenian blood.”

When arrested, Thornton told the police: “I was just playing my tunes.”

On October 12, 2017, she attended at her neighbours' property again. She repeatedly struck the door, shouted, and uttered remarks of a sectarian and offensive nature.

On October 27 last year, the accused shouted, swore and acted in an aggressive manner at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

She was taken to the hospital at 2am after contacting the police, stating that she wanted to kill herself.

Following a doctor’s assessment, she was told to go home. In response she stated: “Load o’ f****** s****. You f****** a********.”

She then picked up a chair and threw it across the room before kicking it.

A few weeks later, Thornton taunted her neighbours once more on November 12, 2017.

This time she shouted and swore whilst in possession of a toy gun. The accused stated: “F****** boot, you phoned the police again.”

Following an abusive rant, she added: “I’ll get away with it because I’m registered mental and you’re not.”

In addition, the accused also pleaded guilty to threatening police officers with violence outside A&E at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital on November 20 last year.

Thornton also admitted breaking her bail by entering Braeside Street when prohibited on November 16 and 18, as well as December 21, 2017.

Defending, John Brannigan explained that it was a “simple neighbour dispute that grew into something serious”.

He stated: “There really is no justification for her behaviour.

“She is a lady with ongoing mental health difficulties.

“It’s a rather sad set of circumstances.”

Thornton’s period on remand was said to have “served her well” as she is now free from illicit drugs.

Returning to Glasgow Sheriff Court for sentencing, Mr Brannigan confirmed that he had liaised with a housing officer to help Thornton obtain accommodation elsewhere from Braeside Street so as she could be released back into the community.

He noted that there had “been issues on both sides” of the dispute, but this new move would be a fresh start and would avoid any future quarrels.

Sheriff Linda Ruxton told the accused: “You’ve managed to amass seven complaints in a short period of time.

“There’s a good chance you could make a fresh start.

“You’ve got a new tenancy to look forward to.”

Thornton was placed on a Structured Deferred Sentence for three of the charges and will return to court for a review on June 13.

Sentence was further deferred on four of the complaints to which Sheriff Ruxton stated that Thornton would be admonished if she kept out of trouble.

She told the accused: “There’s the carrot.”

Sheriff Ruxton further warned Thornton not to get involved in a fresh dispute with her new neighbours.
