VOLUNTEER SERVICE WAS RECOGNISED IN PANDEMIC

Convicted firefighter is condemned

FIRE chiefs who said they were “appalled” by the crimes of a firefighter, who has been convicted of beating and stalking a woman, had previously highlighted his work as a volunteer during the Covid pandemic.

Last week, The Herald reported on how 32-year-old James Webber, of Marythorne Road, Bere Alston, West Devon, was ordered by magistrates to carry out unpaid work after he pleaded guilty to two charges. He admitted that he had “pursued a course of conduct which amounted to the stalking” of the woman which he “knew or ought to have known amounted to the harassment of her”.

This included following the woman while she was driving in her vehicle and turning up unannounced at her home address and sending text messages. He also carried out an assault on the woman at an address in Bere Alston.
