A KNUTSFORD man has been ordered to stay out of trouble after he assaulted a woman.
Thomas West, of Longridge, appeared at Chester Crown Court on Thursday, May 21, for sentencing on one charge.
The 32-year-old had previously pleaded guilty to a charge of common assault at a court hearing on Thursday, March 19.
The court heard West had assaulted the woman during an incident on Monday, November 24.
While in the dock last Thursday, West was handed a 12-month conditional discharge by Her Honour Judge Natalie Cuddy.
This means West must remain out of trouble or he could return to court and be punished for this first offence, as well as any new offence committed.
Judge Cuddy also imposed a restraining order on West, which bans him from contacting his victim, as well as another specified person, by any means.
This includes attempting to contact them via an agent or by using electronic means such as a telephone or through social media.
The restraining order imposed on West lasts for 12 months.
Alongside the conditional discharge and restraining order, West was also ordered by Judge Cuddy to pay his victim £150 in compensation.
He must also pay a surcharge of £26. West will pay his court bill in instalments, with the first due on June 18.
