A man has denied using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor near his new home on the Sandringham Estate. Alex Jenkinson, 39, of Debenham in Suffolk, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday where he pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Police were called to Wolferton shortly after 7.30pm on Wednesday after reports of a man behaving in an intimidating manner in the village. The incident occurred near Marsh Farm, the property where the former Duke of York now lives, according to The Telegraph.
Jenkinson, who appeared in court with a sling, also pleaded guilty to failing to provide a specimen of blood while in custody. He pleaded not guilty to a separate charge of using threatening words or behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke unlawful violence against a man named Stephen Terry in King’s Lynn on Tuesday.
Granted conditional bail, Jenkinson must not go near Sandringham, Buckingham Palace, Balmoral, Windsor or Highgrove. He is also prohibited from contacting Andrew directly or indirectly. His trial is set for 29 July at the same court, with prosecutor Josephine Jones stating that Andrew is expected to give evidence via video link.
Jenkinson was arrested on Thursday and questioned at King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre. The court heard no further details of the alleged behaviour.
