CWMAVON MAN JAILED FOR VIOLENT HOUSE INTRUSION AND ASSAULT ON POLICE
A man who "cannot take no for an answer" smashed his way into a woman's house and threatened to "batter" her, a court has heard.
He then took his victim's car and told her he would only return the keys if she did not tell the police.
During the arrest, Samie Ireland kicked, bit, and spat at police officers, threatening to harm them and claiming he knew their home addresses.
He had previously pleaded guilty to burglary, driving while disqualified, and two counts of assaulting an emergency worker, with 13 previous convictions including assaulting police officers, harassment, dangerous driving, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The court sentenced him to 21 months in prison, with a disqualification from driving for 22.5 months and a five-year restraining order banning him from contacting his victim.
Ireland's pattern of offending shows he pursues women he is attracted to and cannot accept rejection, which was highlighted by the judge as a concerning trend in his behavior.
