Woman's dad moved car after discovering stalker sleeping on her driveway

A man tried to flood his ex-girlfriend’s home three times by sticking a hose pipe through her letterbox.

Robert Garner, 34, appeared at Liverpool Magistrates Court on Tuesday after pleading guilty to one count of stalking involving serious alarm or distress. Laura Simpson, prosecuting, detailed that Garner’s former partner, Samantha Piert, became aware he had been sleeping in her parked car outside her home, after she had asked him to leave the family home.

The couple had been together for 13 years, but had split-up in December 2022. The car was out of use, therefore could not be locked by the complainant, so she asked her father to move it out of the driveway and received malicious messages from Garner in response.
