'It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve' violent rant man sentenced in Shrewsbury

A man who launched a homophobic rant against his sister's neighbour over the garden fence before making 'prolonged' threats to kill him while in custody at a police station has been sentenced.A judge was told that drunken Craig McMullen used the phrase"it is Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" and told police he would kill the man during the incident on August 6, 2023.

"When he is in drink he behaves in a way that does not follow what is said about him in character references," she said.But she said:"He can behave and lead a life when he does not bother the courts." "He has to be punished of course he does but there will be an impact on his partner and son if he is jailed," she added arguing for the imposition of a suspended prison sentence.Judge Laura Hobson told McMullen it was"not my job to say who started it but you escalated it far beyond."Whether you knew they were there or not they heard and that makes this particularly serious.
