A YOUNG dad ended up in court for the second time in a week for his behaviour towards the mother of his child.
Lee Nolan, 24, was last Friday given 36 weeks in jail, suspended for a year, with 12 months’ supervision at Burnley Crown Court. He had admitted threatening to cause damage after terrorising his ex, Deanna Parkinson and her mother, telling them he would torch their home and kill them.
Nolan, who had struck at the beginning of June, was back in court on Wednesday, this time before Burnley magistrates, after admitting assaulting Ms Parkinson by beating, on May 2. The bench had been told he sank his teeth into her cheek, but didn't break the skin. He left the victim bruised.
The defendant, of Branch Street, Nelson, admitted assault by beating. He was given 40 hours’ unpaid work and must pay £50 compensation and £50 costs.
