Sheffield man jailed for 'revenge attack' where he caused £600 damage to car door
A Sheffield man has been jailed for a ‘revenge attack’ on another man where he damaged his car in the Doncaster area, court records show.
Ashley Christopher Taylor had denied assaulting the man and causing £600 worth of damage to his vehicle at a trial which took place at Doncaster Magistrates’ Court in April of this year.
He was found not guilty of the assault but guilty of criminal damage by magistrates at the time, records state.
The 31-year-old, of Bracken Road, Wincobank, Sheffield, was jailed for 12 weeks when he appeared before Doncaster Magistrates’ Court for sentencing on November 18.
Records state that he was sent to prison because it “was a revenge attack where a weapon was used to commit the damage” and it was “aggravated because of the defendant’s previous convictions”.
On his release, Taylor must also pay £600 in compensation, £310 in prosecution costs and a £122 victim surcharge.
