A furious mother-of-three who stormed round to the home of her estranged sister-in-law and subjected her to an expletive-laden tirade on her doorstep is facing the prospect of being jailed.

Sarah Janion, 37, was caught on a doorbell camera screaming foul-mouthed abuse at childminder Stacey Janion after discovering she had been reported to the authorities over an argument she had with her daughter.

During the 15-minute confrontation on Stacey’s doorstep, Janion was heard shouting: ‘Get the f** out here’, ‘Be a woman’, and ‘Stop being a f….y’ as the victim cowered inside her house refusing to open her front door.

When police attended the scene in Runcorn, Cheshire, divorcee Janion insisted she meant no harm but inquiries revealed she was in breach of a suspended jail term imposed last year after she hurled a vase at her boyfriend’s head during a drunken row.

She had escaped prison after a judge at the time said she was a ‘caring and good mother’ and ruled prison would be ‘terrible’ for her children aged nine, 13 and 14.

The mother-of-three was serving a suspended prison sentence for an assault on her partner when she threatened her relative on August 31 of this year

At Warrington Magistrates’ Court Janion, who admitted using threatening behaviour, was sent back to the same judge to be dealt with for the bust up with her sister-in-law – and to be re-sentenced for the assault on her boyfriend.

The court heard she was originally arrested in August last year after she threw the vase at partner David Bennett’s head during an alcohol-fuelled argument when they went back to his home following a birthday party.

At the height of the row Janion, of Runcorn, hit Mr Bennett in the face four times whilst he grabbed hold of her in a headlock and took her to the floor. He was dialling 999 when the vase hit him on the back of the head causing a two-inch cut. He was found with blood gushing from his head in his front garden and was later treated in hospital for his wounds.

The following December at Chester Crown Court Janion admitted causing grievous bodily harm but was given eight months in prison, suspended for 18 months after Mr Bennett declined to give police a statement about the assault.

At the time Judge Patrick Thompson said Janion had ‘her own difficulties’ and said: ‘I’m not trying to dramatise – one second’s loss of temper can sometimes lead to terrible consequences and the consequences wouldn’t just be terrible for you, it would be terrible for your children.

‘You’re a caring and good mother but you’re no use to them serving a prison sentence.’

The latest incident occurred on August 31 this year after Janion, who had all her children by her ex-husband, had been arrested and locked up over a further domestic incident involving Mr Bennett the previous May.

That matter was subsequently discontinued but when Janion tried to speak to the youngsters who were in the care of their father, she got embroiled in a row with one of her daughters and the incident was reported by Stacey due to concerns for the girl’s welfare.

Janion now faces a potential of being locked behind bars after breaching the terms of her suspended prison sentence. She will appear in court again on November 1 to find out her fate

Angela Blackmore prosecuting said: ‘The defendant did not have the complainant’s phone number but she became aware that the defendant was asking family members for it. The defendant managed to get her phone number off a family member and then texted the complainant, “You better answer now” and “I am not messing”.

‘The complainant did not reply but she then received a call to indicate that the defendant was on her way around to her house. She was said to be “flipping out” about everything that had happened and the complainant contacted police to make them aware that the defendant was on the way.

‘At around 10.45pm, the defendant arrived at the complainant’s property and was acting aggressively. She was knocking on the door, and pressing the doorbell repeatedly and the incident was captured on the doorbell camera so she could see and hear the defendant.

‘As Stacey refused to answer the door, the defendant went around to the back of the house where she could be heard trying to get into the back gate before returning to the front door.

‘None of her attempts to get in were successful. She sat on the doorstep, knocking on the door and shouting for about 15 minutes. Police attended and she was arrested. In interview she said she did not intend to cause harassment, alarm or distress.’

In mitigation defence lawyer Ian Weights said: ‘She is a lady who found herself offending due to her deteriorating mental health.

‘She came out a quite a severe abusive relationship and there have been other family issues. She’s still very much struggling with things. She has been diagnosed with bipolar and complex PTSD.’

Speaking of the row, Mr Weights added: ‘The defendant should have walked away but she did not. She persisted in trying to speak to her and was a little abusive in the process. She oes struggle to deal with crises and family issues.”

Bailing Janion for sentence on November 1, JP Alan Eyres said: ‘In the interests of justice we think that the judge needs to see this.’
