Coomber admitted assault by beating, criminal damage and breach of a suspended sentence order.

Today (23 May) at Peterborough Crown Court he was sentenced to a 12-month community order and 50 hours of unpaid work.

PC Chris Tyler said: “Although Coomber admitted these offences and was clearly remorseful, his actions were totally unacceptable.

“Tackling domestic abuse is one of our priorities and our officers work tirelessly every day to bring perpetrators to justice.”
