Police hunt for former dealer who beat up his ex girlfriend

A former drug dealer who assaulted his ex-girlfriend is wanted by police again.

Michael Anthony Smith went to prison in 2019 for assault offences and was released on licence. However after breaking his licence conditions, he is now wanted on recall back to jail by Merseyside police.

It has been reported that the 26-year-old, who has links to Birkenhead and Liverpool areas, including Sefton Park, previously denied being a drug dealer but changed his plea before his trial got underway back in 2018. He was sentenced to 19 months, with the court hearing Smith had already admitted a charge of burglary and a series of domestic abuse charges against a former girlfriend which he was previously jailed for.
