A motorist who called a female traffic warden a ‘stupid f**king Welsh mare’ after she gave him an £80 parking ticket has been convicted of a race crime.
Welshman Keith Crute, 33, erupted in fury when he found the parking ticket on his silver Vauxhall during a day trip to Llanberis in Snowdonia.
Gayle Williams was approached by the rage driver who shouted at Gayle Williams: “You just gave me a ticket.” I’m not paying f**king £80′, a court heard.
Keith Crute (33), exploded in anger when he discovered the parking ticket for his silver Vauxhall on a day trip from Llanberis, Snowdonia.
Magistrates hear Crute becoming more violent and wilder, and traffic wardens feel ‘frightened’ and threatened by them.
Bodycam footage then captured the moment he lost control and called Ms Williams a ‘stupid f**king Welsh mare’ and spat at her. Crute was then seen driving off with his child and partner. He was arrested later by police.
Crute pleaded guilty at Caernarfon Magistrates Court to using racially aggravated threatening words or behaviour intending to cause harassment, alarm or distress, and racially aggravated assault against Ms Williams.
He was ordered by magistrates to complete 200 hours unpaid labor and 25 days rehabilitation activities. Crute must also pay £400 compensation to his victim.

Ms Williams stated that Crute was making her sick in a victim’s personal statement. Ms. Williams stated that she has never been abused before, and she admitted to being concerned about Covid.
Crute had driven her silver Vauxhall Vauxhall around Llanberis since July 21, when she was stopped by the warden. She issued Crute a parking ticket. The court was told that there were thirty cars illegally parked and she took an hour to issue tickets.
Crute of Bangor was said to have not intended to be racist by a probation officer.
Liz Jones, the defender, stated that the motorist had apologised and apologized for his behaviour. She said he had financial problems and felt the parking ticket was ‘unjust’.
Peter Talbot, chairman of the bench said, “It was a very nasty incident to someone who is performing her duties.” All of us are familiar with the difficulties associated with Covid. That must have been a scary experience.
