A man who was caught by a Wiltshire 999s journalist when he fled from police after assaulting his girlfriend in a car park has been sentenced at Swindon Magistrates Court.

When Dale Jones, of Ipswich Street, pleaded guilty to assault by beating and possession of heroin, a Class A drug, when he appeared in court on Thursday 27 September.
