CONVICTED (2023) | Mark Bond, born 4 May 1992, of Whitebeam Close, Windmill Hill, Runcorn WA7 6QJ but with links to Widnes – attacked a French bulldog puppy during domestic violence incident.
Violent thug Mark Bond, who has a history of domestic abuse from as far back as 2009, targeted French bulldog Reggie during a row with his then girlfriend and mother of his new baby.
When his girlfriend begged him to stop hurting the puppy, Bond turned his attention to her instead, hitting her on the arms and back of the head. Some of the blows landed on his two-week-old baby daughter, causing minor injury, though Bond insisted he hadn’t intended to strike the child.
He also denied attacking Reggie and claimed he had been trying to push the puppy off the bed. There is no indication that the dog was badly injured and Bond wasn’t charged with animal cruelty.
Bond had attacked the same woman while she was pregnant, at one point pushing his fists into her stomach.
In court, Bond was found guilty of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, while he admitted criminal damage and assault.
Sentencing Bond, the Honorary Recorder of Liverpool Judge Andrew Menary KC told him he clearly had “a real problem with drink and, as a consequence of that no doubt, a particular issue with violence towards partners with whom you are having an intimate relationship. Your conduct in relation to her was outrageous.
“It was simply arrogant, bullying, drunken behaviour. She was on the receiving end of physical violence from you when you lost your temper.
“For no good reason at all, you began to hit her and punch her to the stomach. That was the way you behaved in drink towards someone who you were meant to care for.
“While on bail, she was then holding this two-week-old child – your child – and you again in temper hit out at her, striking her and at some time striking the baby. It is outrageous behaviour.
“There is a more constructive alternative. It seems to me that this is a situation where you and society would benefit from an alternative to immediate custody.”
Sentencing | 12-month imprisonment suspended for 18 months; 120-day alcohol abstinence monitoring requirement, a relationships programme; 20-day rehabilitation activity requirement. Two-year restraining order. .
