David Bishop, now of 33 Fifth Avenue, Ketley Bank, Telford, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 9 December.

Magistrates jailed Bishop for 32 weeks because the of the “domestic assault” and “substantial injury” and that Bishop had a “flagrant disregard for people and their property.”

He must also pay £85 costs.
