VIOLENT MAN LOCKED UP AGAIN AFTER IGNORING RESTRAINING ORDER
A man who ignored a court order not to contact his ex has been sent back to jail after inviting her to his home.Aaran Barden was handed an indefinite restraining order after being convicted of stabbing her in the face with a tennis racket.
Only last month the 25-year-old was locked up again after contacting his former partner two days after being released from prison.
He repeatedly called and texted her over four days, causing her increased anxiety and stress.
Barden, of Lavender Croft in Heckmondwike, was given an 18-month suspended jail term in February for two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, breaking a police officer’s thumb in the process.
He broke a court order by contacting his ex between June 21 and 24 and admitted breaching it when appearing at Kirklees Magistrates’ Court.
He has since been recalled to prison for breaching his licence.
He pleaded guilty to breaching the restraining order but denied two assault charges related to the same complainant.
His trial is scheduled for August 16 at Huddersfield Court.
