A homeless man said he was “in sound mind” when he hurled a rock through the window of his mum’s next door neighbour.
Magistrates heard Luke Bloodworth was on his mobile phone outside his mum’s address in St Paul’s Road, Spalding, when he spotted her neighbour, Helen Parnham.
John Clare, prosecuting, said Bloodworth shouted out “bitch” – it was not clear who it was aimed at – and the next thing Mrs Parnham knew was that a rock came through the kitchen window.
The court heard Bloodworth (22) was made subject to a community order for three counts of criminal damage in April last year.
Bloodworth, who was not represented by a solicitor, told the court: “I have got a history of anger problems.”
He said he threw the rock because of comments made by Mrs Parnham.
“I was drunk when I did the last three criminal damages,” he said. “I was in sound mind when I did this.”
Bloodworth was conditionally discharged for 12 months and must pay £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge. He pleaded guilty to criminal damage.
