A man who threatened to burn his ex's mum's house down used a fake accent when calling her, a court heard.
Scott Butler appeared at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Monday after threatening Emma Richards, the mum of his ex partner Elle McKenzie, during a dispute over money.
Aaron Smith, prosecuting, said Butler had an argument with Ms Richards over money she had lent him and over who would keep a dog he and Ms McKenzie purchased during the relationship. Butler had agreed to make repayments, but the argument escalated.
