Questioned as to whether he had another matter before the court, King confessed to having a matter involving his reputed wife, in which Ms Sheppard had intervened.
Ms Sheppard, in responding to the Magistrate, said that following her intervention in that matter, King would abuse her whenever she passes him on the streets.
