FOR assaulting a woman on two separate occasions, a man has been given a 24-month community order.
Jordan Ewart (27), of Ennerdale Avenue, Carlisle, was sentenced at South East Northumberland Magistrates’ Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to two charges of assault by beating.
The court heard that Ewart assaulted the woman in an address in Halton Lea Gate on June 5. Four days later, he assaulted the same victim in Newcastle’s Malmaison Hotel.
Magistrates also imposed a restraining order on Ewart and ordered him to pay a victim surcharge of £85 and court costs of £620.

A MOTORIST has been banned from getting behind the wheel for 18 months after admitting to driving whilst unfit through drink.
Graham John Milburn (50), of South Park, Slaley, admitted the charge when he appeared at South East Northumberland Magistrates’ Court last Thursday. The incident occurred in Wark on September 7.
In addition to his driving ban, Milburn was fined £400 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £40 and court costs of £85.
