A lout who damaged property belonging to relatives of his former partner in a wrecking spree has been jailed.
Reece Jefferson had been in a relationship with the woman for seven years until January last year. He ended up being given a restraining order which prohibited him from contacting her after being convicted of harassment and criminal damage.
However, in May, they ended up in a pub together. Despite the woman being there willingly, Jefferson was in breach of the order. Omar Ahmad, prosecuting, told Newcastle Crown Court: "Later that night the defendant embarked on a spate of criminal damage against various members of her family after an argument with her."
