Man jailed over Frankenstein mask prank

A man who alarmed a 91-year-old woman by repeatedly ringing her doorbell while wearing a Frankenstein mask has been jailed for six months.

Duncan Thomson, 59, of Larchfield Road, Dumfries admitted acting in a threatening and abusive manner. He committed the offence at a house in the town's Lockerbie Road in November.



Dumfries Sheriff Court was told Thomson deeply regretted frightening the woman and had only been looking for a man he thought had gone to the address.

The court heard how he had rung the woman's doorbell and then knocked on an internal door while wearing the Halloween mask.
