Man was
abusive
to store
worker
A SIXTY-year—old har-
assed a Tesco security
guard after being banned
from the supermarket’s
Hereford store.
Steven Berry, of Sheri—
dan Road, Moor Farm,
Hereford, was found
guilty in his absence by
Magistrates -to harass-
ment without violence.
He failed to turn up to the
trial after he first pleaded
not guilty to the charge
earlier last year.
A warrant was issued for
his arrest and he was sen-
tenced last week.
Berry was found guilty
of being abusive to Terry
Treagus at his place of
work in April last year.
Adrian Jones, prosecut-
ing, told city Magistrates
that on April 11 at 11.30am
Berry went to Tesco in Be-
well Street and asked the
security guard if he could
look after his black bag.
Mr Treagus explained
that this was not possible
and Berry became abusive
and aggressive and swore
at him.
The store manager then
banned Berry from the
store.
Then on April 15 Berry
gave a letter to the dairy
counter manager to pass
on to Mr Treagus, which
was addressed to “fat
man". Inside was a news-
paper cutting which said
“We know who you are”.

Berry then walked past
the store and made a ges-
ture of a cutting motion
across his throat towards
Mr Treagus.
His record showed he had
another offence of harass-
ment from last May when
he was given a community
order for 12 months, with a
rehabilitation activity re-
quirement
Mat ilena Divitantonio,
defending, said Berry did
not turn up for his trial
because he was suffering
with ill health and had
recently discovered there
were shadows on his lungs.
The probation service
said his previous harass-
ment charge was regard—
ing his ex-partner, as Berry
struggled to come to terms
with the break-down in
their 18-year relationship.
She said they had been
working with Berry and
since the charge in May, he
had not committed any fur-
ther offences.
Magistrates gave Berry a
conditional discharge for
12 months. He was ordered
to pay court costs of £620
and a £15 victim surcharge.
