Man jailed after carrying about a month-long campaign of violence against his partner in Peterborough
A man who carried out a month-long campaign of violence against his former partner in Peterborough has been jailed.
Kieran Jones, 37, first attacked the woman at her home in Paston in the early hours of November 30 last year. He slapped her in the face, causing a swollen lip.
He also spat and punched her on 4 December, causing a cut to her lip.
The pair went for a meal at a restaurant in March on December 13 and after an argument, Jones got in a car and threatened to run her over by revving the engine.
Jones also threw a drink can at her on December 30 before spitting at her.
The victim was left with minor injuries after all of the assaults.
On Monday (June 22), at Cambridge Crown Court, Jones, of Hawthorn Road, Folksworth, near Peterborough, was jailed for 42 weeks, having pleaded guilty to four counts of assault and driving without due care and attention, for which he received no separate penalty and nine penalty points on his driving licence.
Jones was also handed a restraining order against the victim until 2031.
DC Emily Richardson, who investigated, said: “Jones carried out a horrible campaign violence against the victim so it’s great he’s been brought to justice. I hope he’ll reflect on his actions in prison and think again about behaving this way again in future.”
