A SUPERMARKET <strong>creep</strong> who hounded a <strong>police</strong> chief’s <strong>wife</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>two</strong>-and-a-half <strong>years</strong> has pled<br />
guilty to causing her fear or alarm.<br />
James Lewis, 56, became obsessed with Hazel Blair, a keen amateur singer who worked in<br />
Sainsbury’s and <strong>reminded</strong> <strong>him</strong> <strong>of</strong> “Something” singer <strong>Shirley</strong> <strong>Bassey</strong>.<br />
Lewis knew Hazel’s husband Sandy was a chief inspector, but didn’t care.<br />
He left a CD on her windscreen <strong>of</strong> a love song he had sung <strong>for</strong> her, entered her in a talent<br />
contest without telling her and gave her unwanted gifts.<br />
Lewis also repeatedly pestered Hazel by turning up at her work, phoning her at work, waiting<br />
<strong>for</strong> her outside, shouting at her and sending her messages from a fake Facebook account<br />
he set up.<br />
Hazel told a court <strong>she</strong> became “a wee bit more wary” <strong>of</strong> Lewis’s visits to the shop in Giffnock,<br />
near Glasgow.<br />
She added: “He always found a reason to speak to me. I was a wee bit annoyed he phoned<br />
me at work.”<br />

Hazel Blair was hounded by James Lewis<br />
Lewis, who has diabetes and walks with a stick, began hounding Hazel at the shop early in<br />
2012 after <strong>she</strong> helped <strong>him</strong> get a loaf <strong>of</strong> bread from a high <strong>she</strong>lf.<br />
He told her he would become her favourite customer and asked if <strong>she</strong> was married.<br />
Hazel replied that <strong>she</strong> was “very married” and her husband was a <strong>police</strong>man. But Lewis then<br />
asked if <strong>she</strong> would have gone out with <strong>him</strong> if <strong>she</strong> was single.<br />

Hazel, 47, made a joke <strong>of</strong> it, saying <strong>she</strong> didn’t know how to answer <strong>because</strong> it was so long<br />
since a man had asked her out.<br />
Lewis didn’t take the hint. In the summer <strong>of</strong> 2012, after hearing Hazel singing as <strong>she</strong> worked,<br />
he told her he was a songwriter and <strong>she</strong> kindly <strong>of</strong>fered to listen to some <strong>of</strong> his songs.<br />
A few days later, he left a CD on her car windscreen. She put it in her car player and heard<br />
<strong>two</strong> strange tracks <strong>of</strong> Lewis speaking over background music.<br />
Lewis then phoned Hazel at work and asked if <strong>she</strong> liked his music. He told her he was<br />
disappointed that he hadn’t heard from her.<br />

saw me as <strong>Shirley</strong> <strong>Bassey</strong> singing one <strong>of</strong> her James Bond theme songs.”<br />

As well as phoning Hazel about the CD, Lewis went to the Sainsbury’s to ask her about it.<br />
She 12° replied that it wasn’t what <strong>she</strong> had expected and he looked “taken aback, hurt”.<br />
Hazel recalled: “He told me he had written a ballad and he’d let me hear that.<br />
“A CD was put on my windscreen. It was definitely a song this time. I think it was called What<br />
is Love? or something like that.”<br />
Police were called after Lewis’s attentions became too much <strong>for</strong> Hazel and he was arrested in<br />
June 2014. She gave evidence against <strong>him</strong> at Paisley Sheriff Court be<strong>for</strong>e he pled guilty to a<br />
reduced charge.<br />
Lewis admitted leaving Hazel distressed. He was bailed to await sentence next month.<br />

This guy looks like a <strong>creep</strong>, I cant help wondering why <strong>she</strong> did not rebuff <strong>him</strong> and give <strong>him</strong> the<br />
message clearly be<strong>for</strong>e 2 <strong>years</strong> sometimes people are too polite <strong>for</strong> there own good. Too many<br />
12°<br />
<strong>creep</strong>s out there and some are worse than this guy so hopefully women will get the message that<br />
unwanted advances should be clearly and swiftly put down , doing nothing is like acceptance to<br />
<strong>creep</strong>s like this<br />
