A 25 year-old Corunna man found in his ex-girlfriend’s house will be sentenced for assault and making threats.
Aaron Wakefield pled guilty on Jan. 20 in Sarnia court to being unlawfully in a dwelling, assault and making threats.
Court heard Wakefield had first been arrested Aug. 5, for assault and making threats. Crown Attorney David Rowes said he had threatened to smash her head and slammed her hand in a door before leaving the home. Wakefield was arrested and released the next day.
Then, on Aug. 10, the woman came home to find the doors of her Moore St. home open with her dogs outside. She called Wakefield on his cell phone and he admitted he was inside the home at the time even though there was a court order that he not contact her.
Wakefield says he has no recollection of these incidents because he was drunk.
He is to be sentenced on March 24.
