A son armed himself with scissors and and assaulted his mother's partner after drinking alcohol and taking Valium. When he was told the police were being called, he said: "Go on, I will stab them also."
Stephen Williams, 35, had attended a pub with his mother Janet Williams in Merthyr Tydfil on January 3 but returned to her home at 6pm. When she returned home with her partner Rhys Davies, the house had been trashed and her son was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
A sentencing hearing at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court on Thursday heard Ms Williams challenged the defendant on why her house was in such a state and described him as "off his face" on something. Mr Davies believed Williams was under the influence of drugs.
