Shopper called assistant a '˜dried up dwarf and witch'

Kevin Geddes had been trying to conceal some biscuits he wanted from his partner because he knew she would not approve as he had put on weight lately, a judge was told.

Geddes, 39, of Mowbray Road, Fleetwood, pleaded guilty to threatening behaviour. He was fined £250 but spent a day in custody because he could not pay.

Prosecutor, Scott Ainge, said the assistant who worked at Herons Foods, Lord Street, Fleetwood, challenged Geddes over what he was doing with a packet of biscuits from the shop on February 19.

Geddes ranted, swore and waved his arms at her and called her a dried up dwarf, saying: “I’ll have you, you witch.” He then threw biscuits over her head and 
said “go on call the police then”.
