A stalker who vandalised a lawyer’s £120,000 sports car has been ordered to stay away from him for 10 years. Joanne Maxwell caused extensive scratches to the luxury Mercedes on at least two occasions.
She turned up repeatedly at Diarmid Bruce's office over a 14-month period, demanding to see files, and pelted one of his colleagues with eggs. Maxwell, 34, admitted a course of conduct that caused the Lanarkshire-based lawyer fear or alarm.
Hamilton Sheriff Court heard that she used an unknown implement to damage the Mercedes, including carving an offensive word on the bonnet. The cost of repairs was well in excess of £1,000.
