Gateshead thug moans as he's jailed for breaking takeaway worker's eye socket over free pizza demand

A thug who broke a takeaway worker's eye socket because he wanted a free pizza moaned "I don't want to be going to jail" as he was locked up.

Jonathon Olley caused multiple fractures to the victim's face and left him needing surgery, all because he did not want to pay for the takeaway food. At Newcastle Crown Court, Olley was jailed for 12 months for GBH and given a restraining order to keep him away from the food shop.

As he was about to be led away to start the jail term, Olley told the court: "This is not what should be happening, it's an absolute disgrace, I've tried my best to fix myself. It's hard when you are an alcoholic, it's very, very hard. I don't want to be in this position. I have been to jail before, I've experienced it, it's not a nice place.
