A Stockwood man who had a bust up with his family threatened to kill his sister, a court heard. Terry Woodman found that a mattress he had been using had been removed and fell into an "extremely foul mood".
He told his sister: "If you call the police, wait until they go and I'll come back and kill you." Woodman, 37, of, Bifield Road, pleaded guilty to assault in November last year.
Judge William Hart fined him £100 and told him to pay £100 compensation to his sister. The judge told him: "You have a long list of convictions. A lot have been to fund a drug habit."
