A DOMESTIC abuser from Yate has been jailed.
Anthony Whiffen, aged 47, of Dowsell Way, Yate, pleaded guilty to a single charge of actual bodily harm against a woman.
The incident took place at an address in Emersons Green on September 3.
The case was heard at Bristol Magistrates Court on Friday, October 18, where Whiffen was jailed for 26 weeks - six months.
The court register states the reason Whiffen was jailed was because of the extent of injuries caused to the woman and for 'violence in a domestic situation'.
He was also ordered to pay a £154 surcharge.
Following his sentencing, the Gazette applied for his image from Avon and Somerset Police.
