A woman from Dymock was terrified after her ex-partner, Bruce Clarke, threatened to burn her house down and displayed a sawn-off shotgun.

He was sentenced to three and a half years after pleading guilty to illegally owning a modified shotgun less than four years following his release from prison and for possessing a firearm at the time of his arrest.
Previously, he had threatened to release her horses, set her property on fire, and cause her ongoing distress.
