'Childish, pathetic, mean and spiteful'

- AMY WALKER

AN ABUSIVE thug described as a ‘brilliant dad’ sent his girlfriend a video of himself smashing her perfume bottles, telling her: “Get the gaff smelling banging for the chicks.”

Adam Ball’s behaviour towards his partner was slammed by a judge as ‘childish, pathetic, mean and spiteful’.

The 35-year-old was hauled before the courts for a string of vile incidents. He smashed the woman’s phone while she was asleep after she changed her Facebook password, Manchester Crown Court heard.

Ball, from Urmston, Trafford, became abusive towards his partner when he couldn’t connect a Fire Stick to his television, calling her a ‘f***** s***’ and threatening her. She tried to discreetly call the police.

He cut up her clothes and trainers and said she ‘didn’t deserve them’. “You should be embarrassed,” Recorder Paul Hodgkinson told Ball. “You are a big man – tall, well-built, and I can see she is not.
