Levi Spencer's three month campaign of criminal damage against his family members property and cars culminated in his auntie's home in Dudley with him threatening her with a knife in February.

The 37-year-old had smashed up his brother's car, his father's business premises in Kingswinford and damaged another family member's car in the previous weeks.

Spencer, of no fixed abode in the Kingswinford area, pleaded guilty to three counts of criminal damage, threats to kill and two counts of attacking an emergency worker at Wolverhampton Crown Court. 

In mitigation, the court heard Spencer suffered from ADHD and had been dealing with straightened personal circumstances. His previous convictions include possessing an imitation firearm with intention to cause harm.
