The mother of three was serving a suspended sentence for assaulting her partner when she threatened her relative on August 31 this year
At the Warrington Magistrates’ Court, Janion, who admitted to using threatening behavior, was sent back to the same judge to be tried for the assault on her sister-in-law – and convicted again for assaulting her boyfriend.
The court heard she was originally arrested in August last year after throwing a vase at partner David Bennett’s head during an alcohol-fuelled argument as they returned to his house after a birthday party.
At the line, Janion of Runcorn punched Mr Bennett in the face four times as he grabbed her and lowered her to the ground. He was calling 999 when the vase struck him on the back of the head, causing a 2-inch cut. He was found with blood gushing from his head in his front yard and was later treated in hospital for his injuries.
In December, Janion admitted in Chester Crown Court that he had caused grievous bodily harm but was sentenced to eight months in prison, with 18 months suspended after Mr Bennett refused to give a statement to police about the attack.
At the time, Judge Patrick Thompson said Janion had “her own problems” and said: “I’m not trying to dramatize – one second of mood loss can sometimes have dire consequences and the consequences wouldn’t just be terrible for you, it would be terrible for you.” children.
“You’re a caring and good mother, but it’s no use having them serve a prison sentence.”
The latest incident occurred on August 31 this year after Janion, who had had all her children with her ex-husband, was arrested and incarcerated over another domestic incident involving Mr Bennett in May last year.
That case was subsequently dropped, but when Janion tried to talk to the youths in their father’s care, she became embroiled in an argument with one of her daughters and the incident was reported by Stacey over concerns for the girl’s welfare. .
Janion now faces jail time after violating the terms of her suspended prison sentence. She will appear in court again on November 1 to find out her fate
Angela Blackmore, the prosecutor, said: ‘The defendant did not have the complainant’s telephone number, but she became aware that the accused relatives were asking for it. The defendant managed to get her phone number from a relative and then texted the complainant, “You’d better answer now” and “I’m not messing around.”
‘The complainant did not answer, but then received a telephone call to indicate that the defendant was on her way to her home. She was said to be “spitting herself out” about everything that had happened and the complainant contacted the police to inform them that the defendant was on his way.
‘About 10.45 pm the defendant arrived at the complainant’s premises and behaved aggressively. She knocked on the door and pressed the doorbell repeatedly and the incident was captured on the doorbell camera so she could see and hear the suspect.
When Stacey refused to open the door, the defendant went to the back of the house where she could be heard trying to get through the back gate before returning to the front door.
“None of her attempts to get in were successful. She sat on the curb, knocked on the door and screamed for about 15 minutes. The police arrived and she was arrested. In an interview she said she had no intention of causing any intimidation, alarm or distress.’
As a mitigating circumstance, attorney Ian Weights said, “She’s a lady who found herself abusive because of her deteriorating mental health.
“She came from a rather serious abusive relationship and there were other family issues. She still struggles with things. She has been diagnosed with bipolar and complex PTSD.”
Speaking of the altercation, Mr Weights added: ‘The defendant should have walked away, but she didn’t. She kept trying to talk to her and was a bit abusive in the process. She struggles to deal with crises and family problems.”
To release Janion on bail on Nov. 1, JP Alan Eyres said: ‘In the interests of justice, we believe the judge should see this.’
