An agreed police summary of facts stated John and his partner of 10 years, with whom he has four children, were at their home address in early October 2018 and he was drunk.
The couple argued about John wanting to drive the victim’s car, which he then drove off in before returning an hour later when they resumed the verbal altercation.
John grabbed the woman by the arm and attempted to pull her out of the house, but she fell to the floor to stop him dragging her out.
“The defendant grabbed the victim by the leg and up ended her causing her to fall on her back.”
