Inverness postman jailed for stalking a woman on his round

A postman who targeted a married woman on his round was yesterday jailed for four months for stalking her.

Dawid Grzybek’s notes and gifts to the 38-year-old included a Star Wars toothbrush, flowers and an invitation to join him for a dance and drinks.

But his advances were unwanted by Susan Mackenzie, who contacted police after seeing media coverage of the 31-year-old being imprisoned for eight months in March for snatching a child at Inverness railway station.

Inverness Sheriff Court heard that Grzybek, then of Quayside Court, was working as a postman delivering in the city’s South Kessock area last summer.

Fiscal depute Ross Carvel said: “He was a postman at the time and had been going to her home to deliver mail.

“At the end of the summer, he knocked on the door and asked her for water for his bottle. She filled it up and returned it to him.

“In October, he was seen standing by her door not in uniform. He said he was trying to deliver a parcel to her house.

“It was a Star Wars toothbrush, not properly packaged and not ordered by them. He walked off down an alley but two week later the very same toothbrush was found at her front door with a bit of paper attached, with his email address and the words ‘Dance wine.’

“Another two weeks passed and Grzybek returned to her house with a bunch of flowers, saying they were for her. She said she was married, he became angry and threw the flowers in the bin.

“With them was a note signed by him saying: ‘I think we should get to know each other more. Meet me at the Tarry Ile at 8.’

“She was concerned by that and reported the matter to the police when she saw media information about the conviction for which he is serving a sentence.”

Grzybek admitted a charge of stalking Mrs Mackenzie between July 31 and November 30 last year.

Defence lawyer Neil Wilson said: “It was that media coverage which prompted her to complain to the police and rightly so.

“It is a common factor with my client that he accepts the facts of his case, but does not realise he is doing anything wrong.”

Ordering the jail sentence to be consecutive to Grzybek’s current one, Sheriff Gordon Fleetwood imposed a non harassment order to protect Mrs Mackenzie for the next three years.
