Man stood outside neighbour's house in boxers and threatened to kill them for playing loud music
A man who stood outside his neighbour's home in his underwear and made foul-mouthed threats to kill because they were playing music outside has been sentenced.
Bradley Caruana, 34, had to get up early for work as a traffic management operator, and was incensed when he heard loud music coming from a car outside his neighbour's home at night.
Prosecutor Sara Beddow told Telford Magistrates Court of three incidents over two months last year in Baschurch, where Caruana and the victim were next-door neighbours (he has since moved away).
They had lived next to each other for four years and had an amicable relationship until a confrontation on August 17.
The victim's sister was visiting with her children, when Caruana took exception to loud music being played from the victim's partner's car, parked in front of the house.
"The defendant came to his front door... standing in his boxers, clearly intoxicated, at 9.30pm," Miss Beddow told the court.
Caruana said: "You're taking the p***, it's 10 o'clock and you're blaring your f***ing music.
"Do you know who the f*** I am? I will f***ing kill you.
"Do it again, see what happens."
