A man has been warned he may go to prison after pleading guilty to six offences relating to a violent incident in Langley Lane, Baildon, on New Year’s Eve.
Mark Benson, 55, of Langley Lane, admitted affray, criminal damage, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, having an axe as an offensive weapon, and two charges of assaulting a police officer as an emergency worker, when he attended at Bradford Crown Court today.
Judge Jonathan Rose adjourned the case, and that of Benson’s co-accused, Lynda Blewett, for sentence on August 6.
Judge Rose enlarged Benson’s bail for the preparation of a report from the probation service, telling him: “These are extremely serious matters and you are very much at risk of going to prison.”
Blewett, 51, of East Drive, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, was committed to the Crown Court by Bradford and Keighley Magistrates charged with criminal damage and affray.
