Jailed for kicking ex in face

Mr Canning said when she let go the contents spilled on to the floor. She told him she was not going to pay him and bent down to pick her things up.

He went to kick the items but caught her in the face with his foot.

When she told him he had kicked her he said he did not care and went upstairs threatening to take another handbag but ended up leaving with her mobile phone which he had on him when arrested.

The court heard she subsequently had two black eyes as a result of being struck on her nose.

Mr Canning said Noicely was given 12-month suspended for two years in 2015 for an affray the previous year when he and others had gone to a house looking for the occupant’s brother. He made threats and a window was broken. One of the group involved also left a live shotgun cartridge on the doorstep.

Vincent Blake-Barnard, representing Noicely, said of the latest incident: “He went round to discuss things and things got out of hand.”

He had been in custody since January but had been only a few weeks away from completing the suspended sentence without incident.

Noicely, 28, of Wilson Garden, Milnsbridge, was committed for sentence after being found guilty at Kirklees Magistrates court of common assault and theft during the suspended sentence.

Jailing him Judge Neil Clark said it was “an unpleasant, unacceptable piece of violence towards a woman in her own home.”

It was ‘an unpleasant, unacceptable piece of behaviour towards a woman in her own home.’
