CARDIFF\u00a0student Peter Budd has been given a six-month sentence, suspended for 15 months, following an assault on a fellow student.
\nDefendant Budd, 21, pleaded guilty to actual bodily harm after a sustained assault on Mr Barney Lloyd-Wood, 22.
\nJudge Furness heard Mr Budd entered Mr Lloyd-Wood\u2019s home and hit him\u00a0several times in the face.
\nMr Budd believed his girlfriend was in the house and rushed inside\u00a0and up the stairs to find her.
\nWhen\u00a0Mr Lloyd-Wood came out of his room Budd \u00a0punched him repeatedly in the face.
\nHousemates of Mr Lloyd-Wood claimed he taunted Budd about being in a relationship with his girlfriend. The\u00a0pair had to be pulled apart. Mr Lloyd-Wood sustained extensive bruising and cuts to his face.
\nBudd\u00a0admitted drinking before the assault took place.
\nJudge Jonathan Furness told\u00a0Budd: \u201cYou have the whole world at your fingertips and it could have been ruined by a moment of drunken madness.
\n\u201cI\u2019m giving you a second chance but it must never happen again. Your actions are serious enough for a custodial sentence. It seems to me that actual bodily harm is as generous as it can be.
\n\u201cYou were clearly the aggressor in this case and you let your jealousy get the better of you.\u201d
\nJudge Furness said\u00a0Budd\u2019s previous unblemished record and good character influenced his sentence.\u00a0Budd was also given a \u00a380 statutory surcharge payable to the court, and ordered to work 120 hours of unpaid work.
\nThe judge warned Budd that failure to comply with his sentence would lead to further criminal proceedings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
