A WOMAN became "obsessed" with a personal vendetta against a Worcester school and harassed and threatened staff for two months.

On one occasion, police officers called to Christopher Whitehead High School had to chase Violet Miller who bolted through a corridor, a court heard.

Miller, aged 39, continually entered the school grounds to speak to staff, despite being advised by the police not to. For legal reasons the details of her grievance cannot be published.

When she appeared before Droitwich magistrates yesterday she admitted two charges of being in breach of a conditional discharge and two charges of causing a nuisance or annoyance in school grounds.

"From a point in June, Mrs Miller became obsessed with going to the school and causing a nuisance and threatening members of staff," said Susan Cliff, prosecuting.

The first conditional discharge breach happened on Thursday, June 14, when the headteacher found Miller in the main school building.

"When police arrived she was asked to leave but she used threatening and abusive language," said Mrs Cliff.

"She was in the corridor but she ran out through a door, slamming it and was chased by officers."

On Monday, June 18, Miller returned to the school.

"The head had a duty to his staff and pupils," said Mrs Cliff.

"She was being verbally and physically abusive."

She returned again on Monday, June 25, and on Friday, June 29, after being released from custody for contempt of court. She returned again on Monday, July 2.

"She told the business manager that she wanted to see a particular person," said Mrs Cliff.

"He believed that she would assault that person. Mrs Miller ran out when she heard the police had been called but returned later when they had gone."

The court heard that Miller, of Bromwich Road, St John's, had a clean record before June this year.

"The family is completely respectable," said Charles Hamer, defending.

"But my client has a sense of injustice.

"A problem with the school was still not resolved in her mind," he added.

Miller had spent time on remand in three different women's prisons.

Mr Hamer told the court that his client had been physically abused in one prison and had broken her wrist while on remand in the past week.

"She's had an appalling time," he said.

Magistrates fined Miller £250 for the breaches of the conditional discharge and £100 for the two new charges of causing a nuisance on school property.
