Woman from Wrexham admits using threatening language at town taxi firm office

http://www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/166117 ... rm-office/

A WOMAN has pleaded guilty to using threatening words towards staff in a Wrexham taxi office.

Courtney Buckley Wilson, 21, of Thomas Court, Wrexham, admitted the offence in Wrexham Magistrates Court.

Justin Espie, prosecuting, said on May 4 at 5pm a taxi from Prestige Taxis took a fair from High Street.

The driver dropped his mobile phone which slid under his seat and he did not retrieve it as he was picking up a male and two female passengers.

When he had dropped them off, he realised the phone was missing and feared it had been stolen.

Police were informed and the taxi company called the number the passengers had used to book the taxi to find out if they had taken the phone.

Wilson had used threatening and abusive language on the phone and the same language along with a racial slur when she arrived at the taxi office.

Wilson, representing herself, said the taxi company had accused her mother of stealing the phone and had not asked nicely.

She added she realised she should not have acted in the manner she did.

Mike Jones, chairing the magistrates' bench, gave Wilson a 12 month conditional discharge and told her to pay £85 in court costs and a victim surcharge of £20.

He also urged her to apologise to Prestige Taxis.
