Barrow man jailed for 30 weeks after pleading guilty to domestic violence

Leigh Samms, of Ramsden Street, Barrow, pleaded guilty to assaulting Jasmine Henderson at Furness Magistrates' Court on Monday and was handed an 18-week prison sentence.
However, Samms also had a 12-week suspended sentence given for theft and two counts of assault in February earlier this year activated by presiding magistrate Mrs Sharron Gillam.
This meant he was given a total prison sentence of 30 weeks. He was also ordered to pay £100 in compensation to the victim.
