Woman accused of harassing elderly neighbor with peeping scarecrow

A woman from Bancyfelin, west Wales, has appeared in court charged with harassing her elderly neighbor by erecting a scarecrow to overlook her neighbor's garden. Alison Sarah Nicholson pleaded not guilty to a single count of harassment without violence. The 50-year-old was accused of erecting the scarecrow to peer over the fence into the garden of Nina Roberts.
She is also accused of other incidents as part of the charge which Mrs Roberts said amounted to harassment, including throwing bread onto a path belonging to Mrs Roberts and hanging a blanket over a fence with a message written on it.
Nicholson was granted unconditional bail and told to appear before Llanelli Magistrates' Court on November 17 for a trial.
