Fantasy: The defendant invented a drink spiking claim to save his girlfriend from prosecution A WEST Cumbrian man falsely told police he spiked his girlfriend s drink in a futile bid to save her from prosecution for a minor assault. At Carlisle Crown Court today, a judge was told that the attempt to keep his partner out of court backfired spectacularly for 36-year-old Lee Cunningham, who was then himself arrested and charged with a far more serious offence. He had to spend 41 days on a police imposed curfew. The defendant, of Chapel Terrace, Thornhill, Egremont, admitted perverting the course of justice.
A man who lied to police after his partner was arrested has been spared immediate jail – partly because of the poor conditions for prison inmates amid the COVID pandemic. Lee Cunningham’s now former girlfriend was detained in custody overnight following her criminal conduct at a Cleator Moor pub on.
