A Hartcliffe man who pummelled his partner in a prolonged attack has been jailed. And a judge banned him from all contact with her.
Dean Chick had been issued with a domestic violence protection order regarding the complainant, which he breached. He was jailed by magistrates for 18 days as a result.
But Bristol Crown Court heard that after he was released, a week into July, he took the complainant to his dad's home and subjected her to a sustained assault that left her covered in bruises. Chick, 34, of Englishcombe Road, pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and breach of a non-molestation order.
