A former carer has been jailed for attacking his partner in a drunken rage after using vodka to treat toothache.
Aiden Boot downed a bottle of the spirits to numb the pain from a tooth abscess when he was unable to get to a dentist ten days into the first lockdown last year.
He carried out two separate attacks on his partner Natalie Greenwood and smashed up the kitchen of their home in North Molton during a drunken rage.
He put a hand around her throat and she feared he was trying to throttle her. She passed out during the attack in which he tried to bite her ear, dragged her around by her hair, and punched her repeatedly in the face.
