Craig Jeffrey, 32, further threatened a man with an axe before calling a police officer “PC D head”, Bolton Crown Court heard. Mark Brookes, prosecuting, said a dispute between Jeffrey, of Townsfield Road, Westhoughton, and the woman resulted in him phoning her 60 times and threatening to burn her house down and petrol bomb the house where she lived with her husband and daughter. On January 2 this year, Lee Ollerton received a call from the woman about the threats Jeffrey had made and decided to go round to the defendant’s address and confront him.
