A domestic abuser has been jailed for carrying out two banned driving offences within weeks of receiving a suspended sentence.
In July, Reece Marrin was given a 21 month prison sentence, suspended for two years for "serious domestic abuse" and driving whilst disqualified. But less than a week after being sentenced, Marrin was caught behind the wheel and was arrested before being released on bail. Undeterred, the 26-year-old was once again found in the driver's seat of a vehicle weeks later.
Marrin, of Hexham Avenue, Deneside, Seaham, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Thursday to be sentenced for driving whilst disqualified and driving without insurance. He had pleaded guilty to the offences, with the court hearing he had committed four driving whilst disqualified offences this year alone.
