Andover man jailed for domestic abuse
He assaulted and strangled his partner
A 27-year-old man from Andover has been jailed after assaulting his partner and brandishing a knife during an altercation in Basingstoke.
Thomas George Williams, of Launcelot Close in Andover, appeared before Winchester Crown Court (23 January) for sentencing.
He previously plead guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, two counts of criminal damage, intentional strangulation, and possession of a bladed article in a public place.
This sentencing follows an incident on 9 October 2023, during which Williams assaulted the victim at her home address causing an injury above her eye. He also threw her against a wall causing damage.
During police attendance, the victim disclosed that Williams had strangled her a few days prior.
The court also heard how on two separate occasions, Williams caused damage to the victim’s phone. One time, by head-butting it, and the other by throwing it on the floor.
Williams was also sentenced for a separate incident on 13 November 2024, whereby he pulled out a knife during a heated exchange with another man on New Road, Basingstoke.
Williams was sentenced to 30 months in prison and is also subject to a restraining order.
