More info A jealous ex smashed a window at the home of his former partner, leaving her with glass in her face and a nasty cut. Andrew Owen couldn't accept the break-up of his relationship, which had been ended by his former partner after two and a half years, Caernarfon Crown Court heard. Owen, of Maes Llewelyn, Aberffraw, wrongly believed she had a man at her home and was phoning and making threats to her, said Oliver King, acting for the prosecution. He then followed that up by going round to her home in Llangefni, Anglesey, on January 25 this year, where he banged on the front door and smashed a glass pane, which left his ex with a nasty cut. "Because of her proximity to the door, when the glass shattered, fragments made contact with her face and a fragment became embedded in her face," said Mr King. The police were called and Owen, who appeared from prison via video-link today (Tuesday), was arrested. The 41-year-old admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm and damaging property. The victim told how the incident had scared her and her son, for whom it had a lasting impact on. She said she didn't want to see Owen again. The court heard Owen had eight convictions for 13 offences including disorderly behaviour, damaging property, threatening behaviour and ABH. Defending, Dafydd Parry, said the defendant had already been in custody for a significant time following the incident and suggested a suspended sentence for Owen, with requirements, because there was a realistic chance of rehabilitation. Judge Timothy Petts said he agreed on balance, imposing a 12 month sentence, suspended for 18 months, a six months alcohol treatment requirement, 20 rehabilitation activity days, six months GPs trail monitoring and a 10 year restraining order preventing him from contacting the victim. He must also pay a statutory surcharge. Judge Timothy Petts said: "It was not only a very scary incident for her, but for her son who saw what was going on."
