On the day of the alleged offenses the complaining witness and her friend were traveling to work when they passed Anonymous (D) in another car. When the car in which the complainant was riding turned into the parking lot of the restaurant where she worked, D's car, which had been following, drove up close to the complainant, who had by then emerged from her car, and D shouted from the car window that the complainant was a 'tramp,' that her mother was a whore and had gone to bed with D's husband, and that the D was 'going to get' the complainant this time. While D was making these insulting remarks, the complainant and her companion walked toward the restaurant and entered. This incident was the basis for the disorderly conduct charge. D then later that day telephoned complainant at her work and repeated the same charges. D was charged with disorderly conduct and harassment. D was convicted. D appealed.
