A former "boy soldier" who threatened to "chop up" his partner and stomped on her already-fractured leg has been jailed.
Arron Chevelleau, 32, of Portslade Walk, pleaded guilty to two assaults and possessing a machete, the latest in his long history of criminal activity. Alison Whalley, prosecuting, told Manchester Crown Court that Chevelleau, who joined the Army when he was just 16, most recently came to the attention of the courts after two assaults, almost two years apart from each other.
At about 2am on October 19, 2019, Chevelleau was outside Bar Rouge on Portland Street when he headbutted Troy Bell, who had allegedly made a derogatory remark about Chevelleau's mother, before punching him whilst holding his phone in his hand.
