2022: WORCESTER DAD JAILED FOR BEATING UP GIRLFRIEND AND MAKING KILL THREATS
A DOMESTIC abuser has been jailed - for beating up his new girlfriend and threatening to kill her after trashing his ex's car.Billy Watts of Cleeve Drive, Worcester, admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm against his girlfriend and making threats to kill her when he appeared at Hereford Crown Court on Friday.
The 26-year-old dad, who was also in breach of a suspended sentence order, was jailed for 18 months in total for the ABH which occurred between March 1 and March 12 and threats to kill between the same dates, offences committed against his partner.
He also admitted battery against another woman on March 13.
Guilty pleas were entered before magistrates on March 14, earning Watts maximum credit.
However, these offences placed him in breach of a suspended sentence imposed by Worcester Magistrates Court on November 29 last year - all four months of which were activated in full.
A restraining order was made to prevent him from having contact with the victim for an indefinite period.
We have previously reported how Watts pestered a former partner and trashed her car when she dumped him.
He breached the restraining order three times in August 2019 the same month it was made.
One breach involved Watts ringing his ex in front of the custody sergeant at Worcester Police Station, claiming he was ringing his aunt.
The order was imposed for criminal damage and harassment after Watts used a rake to smash the windows of her Vauxhall Corsa and harassed her with phone calls, at one point hiding behind a hedge and jumping out to confront her outside a Worcester school, angry she had dumped him.
This was in itself a breach of a suspended sentence order (six months suspended for two years) for battery and possession of an offensive weapon.
The offensive weapon was a piece of wood and this incident happened in Oxford on October 31, 2017.
He also damaged his ex's Volkswagen Polo twice and was jailed until December last year.
