CONVICTED (2020) | serial domestic abuser Samuel Thomas Johnson, born 4 June 1985, previously of Ashwell Drive, Shirley, Solihull but more recently (late 2022) Leahill Croft, Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham B37 5JN – kicked a dog repeatedly during a drunken and drug-fuelled attack on his girlfriend; traumatised dog put to sleep weeks later
Former soldier Johnson, who was previously cautioned for domestic violence against another woman, threw his girlfriend to the floor and strangled her before kicking Staffy Rosie as she desperately tried to protect her owner
The woman’s young son was upstairs while Johnson battered her and Rosie. The brave and loyal dog was left so traumatised by the vicious attack, she had to be put down by the vets just months later.
In passing sentence, the judge said Johnson had the power to inflict serious damage with his fists along with an issue with his temper.
He touched upon his ‘worrying’ history of two other actual bodily harm (ABH) offences, one inflicted upon a previous partner, and said future girlfriends needed ‘protecting’.
Despite this the judge concluded by wishing Johnson “all the best” as he passed a suspended sentence.
The court heard Johnson is now seeing a psychiatrist in relation to his time in the army, though his defence solicitor said the most recent assault could not entirely be attributed to his traumas.
Sentencing: four-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months. 30 days of rehabilitation activity and a structured intervention for domestic abuse course. 10-year restraining order. No ban on keeping animals was imposed.
Update December 2022
Johnson now lives in Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham, with fiancée Laura Miller and her young son. The two have recently had a child together. Concerned that Ms Miller might not be aware of her partner’s appalling history of domestic violence, we tipped her off. This was her reaction.
Another Mentally Disturbed Scum.
