Kimberley Stanton had been due to stand trial this week on allegations she intimidated her 76-year-old neighbour and damaged his property on September 26 last year, however she pleaded guilty to both charges on Monday morning.

An agreed set of facts tendered to the court said Stanton and the neighbour had spoken earlier in the day about him giving her some wine but it did not eventuate.

However, at 12.15am the man woke to Stanton banging on the window and yelling for “her goon”.

The man went to the lounge room to activate his alarm, at the same time as Stanton smashed a window and climbed into the house. She headed to the kitchen, took two bottles of $6 wine from the bench then climbed out the same broken window.

Police later found her with one of the bottles. They said she was “well affected” by alcohol when discovered.

When asked how much she’d had to drink, Stanton replied “about a litre of goon”.

She was taken to Wollongong Hospital for treatment to a cut near her eye before being returned to the police station and charged.

Stanton was on parole for shoplifting and larceny charges at the time and was required to serve the balance of her sentence before being released in February. She will be sentenced next month.
