A transsexual woman smashed a van window and threatened the driver with an air pistol because she thought he had tried to run her off the road.
Leanne George, 46, of Bellbanks Road, Hailsham, pleaded guilty to possessing an imitation firearm with intent of causing fear of violence and to damaging property, a windscreen, belonging to Dyno Rod, when she appeared at Lewes Crown Court yesterday.
In an earlier hearing at Eastbourne Magistrates Court, District Judge Paul Tain heard how George, a professional concert pianist, had booked an appointment with Dyno Rod in order to get even with a driver she thought had tried to knock her down in Hailsham High Street.
She was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at Lewes Crown Court on December 9.
