JOSEPH LOCKYER FROM BOURNEMOUTH SENTENCED AFTER ASSAULT AND DRUNK DRIVING INCIDENT
In July 2014, a man named Joseph Robert Lockyer, aged 25, from Leybourne Avenue in Bournemouth, faced a court hearing following serious allegations involving violence and driving under the influence.The proceedings revealed that Lockyer was charged with multiple offences, including assaulting a woman and driving while intoxicated.
During the court session, Lockyer entered a plea of not guilty to the charges.
However, after the evidence was considered, he was found guilty of two counts of assaulting a woman by beating.
These convictions highlight the severity of the incidents and the impact on the victim involved.
In addition to the assault charges, Lockyer admitted to driving a VW Caddy Van on Leybourne Avenue, Bournemouth, with a blood alcohol concentration of 97 milligrammes per 100 millilitres.
This admission underscores his violation of driving laws and the dangers posed by operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol.
Furthermore, Lockyer acknowledged failing to surrender to custody at Bournemouth Magistrates’ Court after being released on bail in connection with other criminal proceedings.
This failure to comply with court orders led to further legal consequences.
As a result of these findings, Lockyer was sentenced to 20 weeks in prison.
His driving privileges were also revoked, with a disqualification from holding a driving license for three years.
The court indicated that this disqualification could be reduced by 273 days if Lockyer successfully completes a course approved by the Secretary of State, providing an opportunity for early reinstatement of his driving rights.
Financial penalties were also imposed, with Lockyer ordered to pay a fine of £200 and a victim surcharge of £20.
To prevent any further contact or interference, a restraining order was issued, prohibiting him from contacting the victim or entering specific addresses associated with the case.
These measures aim to protect the victim and uphold the court’s authority in enforcing justice.
