Man Who Compared Himself to Raoul Moat Gets 20 Months | Sheffield News
Description
A 40-year-old man with a history of harassment and violent threats just got locked up for 20 months after blowing off his suspended sentence. He’d previously been warned for threatening to kill a woman, even comparing himself to Raoul Moat—but this time, he targeted another woman he’d had a fling with, bombarding her with 150 messages and calls, warning her it was “her last chance before I explode.” He threatened to break into her home, told her to leave her door unlocked, and explicitly said he’d be “the next Raoul Moat” if she didn’t comply. The victim, already struggling with anxiety and depression, feared for her life. With a rap sheet of 22 prior offenses, Fletcher’s behavior was deemed a serious relapse. The court sentenced him to 18 months for breaching his suspended sentence, added a five-year restraining order, and ordered a victim surcharge—showing that repeated threats and control tactics won’t be tolerated.
