GEORGETOWN, P.E.I. - The woman who hit a man in the head with a George Foreman Grill in Souris after refusing to leave his apartment was back in court for breaching a no contact order.

Melanie Dawn Sheehan was sentenced in June to 45 days in jail for assault with a weapon. She was also banned from having contact with the victim or going within 500 metres of his residence.

She appeared in provincial court in Georgetown on Jan. 18 to plead guilty to breaching this no contact order.

On Oct. 12, RCMP responded to a 911 call of a disturbance at the apartment of the victim.

The victim stated to police that after getting into an argument over a text message, Sheehan had showed up at his apartment, revving her engine outside the building.

She began screaming and throwing things at his window, including a rolled up newspaper, a cup of coffee and then a liquor bottle, breaking the glass.

The victim admitted to police that he had been in contact with Sheehan over three weeks.

He proceeded to provide copies of the text messages to give insight into the dynamics of the relationship and the nature of the breach.

Crown prosecutor Nathan Beck said the vast majority of text messages came from Sheehan.

“She is the instigator,” said Beck.

The victim also appeared in court for breaching a no contact order with Sheehan.

He also pleaded guilty to the charge.

The victim and Sheehan will both be sentenced in provincial court in Georgetown Feb. 8.
