Jail for man who threatened to smash ex's face and broke her brother's window over failed relationship
A man has been sent to prison for 12 months after a judge heard how he harassed his former partner following their break up.
Lee King, aged 38, of Dolyfelin, Welshpool, turned up drunk at a school and offered to "kick off" if the woman did not get back with him, and went as far as smashing a window of her brother's house in Telford.
Shrewsbury Crown Court heard how King had been under a two-year restraining order set in March 2022 that prevented him from making any kind of contact with the woman.
The court heard at his sentencing hearing on Monday how a drunken King sent text messages throughout the day in July last year to the woman saying how much he loved her and he wanted to have sexual intercourse with her.
But he added that he would "put her windows through and smash her face in" if she didn't re-kindle the romance.
Following an incident at a school he was arrested, but the court heard how after being handcuffed but would not get in the back of their van. It took "multiple officers" to restrain him.
A spray had "little effect" and King threatened to spit and bite at the officers, although he denied any intention of spitting, claiming he had been "clearing his throat". He has also complained about the police actions.
