DURHAM MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO ASSAULTING PARTNER AND DAMAGING POLICE CELL
The article reports on the sentencing delay of Gary Lee Butterfield, a man who pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm and criminal damage.
The assault involved striking his partner in the jaw, which was captured on CCTV located in North Road, Durham, on July 18.
After his arrest, Butterfield damaged his cell at Durham police station, rendering it unusable until deep cleaned.
Prosecutor Sam Faulks highlighted Butterfield's history of violence and domestic-related offenses, emphasizing the importance of identifying how many of his prior convictions are domestic in nature.
The court decided to postpone the sentencing for a week to allow police to provide detailed records of his past offenses, many of which involve assault and domestic violence.
Butterfield, aged 25 and from Collingwood Street, Coundon, remains in custody until the rescheduled hearing scheduled for August 24.
