ADAM BONE FROM WINGATE SENTENCED FOR ANIMAL AND WOMAN ASSAULT IN COUNTY DURHAM

In a recent court case, Adam Lee Bone, born around 1991 and residing at 29 Taylor Grove in Wingate, County Durham, was found guilty of serious criminal offenses involving both a woman and a dog. The incidents occurred on August 27, 2023, in the town of Wingate, where Bone's actions drew significant concern from local authorities and the community alike.

Bone, who has a long history of criminal behavior, particularly violent offenses dating back to his teenage years, faced charges related to two separate but related incidents. He pleaded guilty to two counts: assault by beating against a woman and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal, specifically a Bedlington Terrier. The court proceedings revealed that Bone's actions on that day were aggressive and harmful, leading to the suffering of the dog and injury to the woman involved.

The court's sentencing decision was to impose a 20-week prison term, which was suspended for a period of 24 months. This means that Bone will not serve time in prison unless he commits another offense within that period. Additionally, Bone was ordered to pay £85 in prosecution costs, covering the expenses incurred during the legal process.

Furthermore, the court disqualified Bone from owning or keeping dogs for a period of five years, a ban that will last until March 2029. This measure aims to prevent any future incidents involving animals and to protect the community from potential harm caused by Bone's actions. The case has garnered attention from local residents and animal welfare advocates, highlighting ongoing concerns about violence and animal cruelty in the Wingate area.
