A man has been jailed for eight months after he pointed a toy lizard at
two bailiffs and threatened to shoot them. Shane Burton picked up the
nearest thing to hand and threatened the men from a window of his flat
when he saw them clamping his Land Rover Freelander, Nottingham Crown
Court heard. He shouted: "Get away from the car, get away from the car
or I will shoot you".Bailiffs Christopher Heath and Ricky Knight, who had a warrant to clamp the car for unpaid parking fines, saw a square object, which they believed to be a handgun, being pointed towards them by Burton. Jim Metcalf, prosecuting Burton, said the bailiffs were shocked and scared. "They took the clamp off and they drove away," said Mr Metcalf. "As they drove off, the defendant came out of the flats, got into his Land Rover and followed them." Burton, 45, of Sneinton, Nottingham, was arrested after the bailiffs reported the matter to police. A search of his home revealed he had lawfully-held imitation firearms and knives.
