MUM PUSHES PENSIONER OVER IN DOG MESS ROW OUTSIDE HER HOME
A mum pushed a pensioner over in a row over dog mess outside her home.Natasha Dawkins said she snapped when the 72-year-old called her a ‘n****r’.
She had confronted him after seeing his dog fouling on the popular school route near her Almondbury home.
Dawkins, 35, pleaded guilty to assault when she appeared at Kirklees Magistrates’ Court.
Prosecutor Alex Bozman said that she saw the victim, with whom she had some history, walk by her Cemetery Road address on September 15.
The victim accused Dawkins of driving her car without an MOT and tax and believed he had been checking up on the vehicle.
Dawkins made a remark about dog mess and he made a remark about some driving issues.
When the victim walked away, Dawkins pushed him, causing soreness to his side and mud on his clothes.
She told magistrates: “She snapped and pushed him because he called her a n****r.
Anybody who calls me a n****r gets pushed.” A pregnant woman witnessing the incident called police.
Dawkins explained her actions as extreme verbal provocation of a serious nature and said she was deeply offended.
Magistrates sentenced her to a conditional discharge for 18 months, with £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.
