Dismissed as a deputy council leader, Tom Hollis has now been dealt another blow as a judge handed him his punishment on criminal charges. Hollis was sentenced at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on Thursday, October 13, after he was found guilty last month of harassing his former neighbours and of careless driving.
He received a community order for 12 months on the harassment charges, 200 hours of unpaid work in the community, and to pay £500 each compensation to his two former neighbours, a victim surcharge of £95 and costs of £1,000.
For the careless driving, the penalty was six points on his licence and a fine of £570. Judge Leo Pyle told him on the harassment charges, he had showed an arrogance and belief that somehow "you were far more important than your neighbours".
