WOMAN LEFT 'BROKEN AND SCARED' AFTER MAN BITES HER AND SQUEEZES HER THROAT DURING ATTACK
A man pushed his partner on to a bed and squeezed her throat for a couple of seconds, a court heard.The woman ran downstairs after Cole Stringfellow, 27, attacked her after gaining entry via an unsecure ground-floor window.
Nottingham Crown Court heard he picked up her PlayStation controller and threw it at her with force but it hit a wall on March 18 this year.
Then he threw a mobile phone at a wall.
He grabbed her by her hand and bit her on her knuckles.
He then grabbed her by her coat and pulled her to the floor and, when she came to, he slapped her twice.
When police arrived, Stringfellow, now of Loughborough Avenue, Sneinton Dale, kicked a wall on the top floor and crawled into a space accessed by a loft room.
Officers were given access to the property and Stringfellow was located in the space where he was lying facedown.
He left the area after repeated requests by officers armed with a taser.
Then he repeatedly headbutted the window of a police van and banged his head against the rear of the cage.
The van was stopped and he made a racist remark.
His partner had bruising on her body, including her arms and hands, and bite marks to her fingers.
The incident left her "broken and scared", the court was told.
Stringfellow pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply, regarding an incident where he was caught with cannabis wraps in October 2019, possessing cannabis, causing criminal damage, racially-aggravated disorder, and common assault.
Laura Pitman, mitigating, said: "He accepts the way he behaved towards her was appalling and the way he went on to behave towards those police officers, again, appalling".
Stringfellow's sentence was deferred for six months.
He will be on a drug rehabilitation requirement for six months with six weekly reviews and a three-month electronic tag between set hours.
Judge Julie Warburton told Stringfellow: "I'm giving you a chance, really I can't do any more".
