Prosecutor Kate Beardmore said the woman had parked her car in a pub car park and on her return found it scratched.
Defence solicitor Ian Pridham said there was an ongoing lengthy civil dispute between the pair, who were once friends, over a bill.
He added: “On that day he had seen the vehicle, knew it belonged to her and was very stupid.”
Brown was given a a four month community order with a six week curfew. As well as compensation, he must pay £85 court costs.
