Man from Mablethorpe Pleads Guilty to Domestic Assault with Guitar

Jonathan Sharpe, a 38-year-old man from Mablethorpe, was involved in a domestic assault incident where he hit his former partner over the head with a guitar following an altercation at their home. The incident occurred after the woman, Maria Page, allegedly attacked Sharpe with a rolling pin and damaged his guitar. The court heard that the couple had been drinking that day, and Maria had been shouting and swearing. According to court records, Sharpe responded to her aggression by hitting her with his guitar.
