Man charged with staring at politician 11 Years, 9 Months ago  
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-24536996

A man has appeared in court charged with staring at Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

Dogan Arslan, 47, is accused of staring at the MSP from her Pollokshaws Road office from a parked car outside.

Court papers suggest he "engaged in course of conduct" which caused "fear and alarm".

No plea was given and the case was continued at Glasgow Sheriff Court until next month for a psychiatric assessment.

Arslan, from Battlefield, Glasgow, is alleged to have carried out the offence between October and December 2012.
Sheriff only

It is claimed he "repeatedly loitered within a parked motor vehicle in the vicinity of the office premises" and stared at the offices and Miss Sturgeon.

Arslan was arrested last year and appeared in private at the court on 14 December, where he made no plea or declaration and was granted bail.

The case has since been reduced to summary level, meaning it will be heard in front of a sheriff only, without a jury.

Miss Sturgeon, 43, from Irvine, has been deputy first minister of Scotland since 2007 and deputy leader of the SNP since 2004.

She is a former solicitor and became MSP for the Glasgow region in 1999, winning the Govan constituency in 2007. She is now the MSP for Glasgow south side.

Most politicians would need to pay people to stare at them!

It was a bit more than staring at her. He was loitering for long periods outside her offices and staring into them. I'm sure Jk wouldn't want anyone staring into King Towers.

I think the article is a bit unclear. We don't know if she asked him what he wanted or not, and it doesn't explain how this is different to crowds of teenage girls camped out in Beatle's gardens?
