A man has been jailed for punching his partner and damaging her home. Daniel Jessop, of Mantle Close, Clevedon, conceded having an "on and off" relationship with the woman, which he said could be argumentative and volatile.
In November last year he turned up at her home in Weston-super-Mare and, after a row, he hit her and damaged a door and bed after she barricaded herself into a room. Jessop, 27, pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, criminal damage and producing cannabis.
The Recorder of Bristol His Honour Judge Peter Blair KC handed him a nine months prison sentence. He told Jessop: "Plainly you did see red that morning. There are quite a number of injuries she ended up with one way or another."
