A woman threatened to burn down a carer's home within hours of being released from prison and falsely accused her of being a "paedophile".
Laura Walker went to a full-time carer's home and made terrifying threats while making hurtful accusations before police arrived to arrest her. The 34-year-old left the woman feeling terrified that her home would be burned down.
On Wednesday, Walker, of Durham Road, Chester-le-Street, appeared at Durham Crown Court to be sentenced for threatening to destroy or damage property.
