A DOMINO’S Pizza employee who assaulted a pensioner recovering from a stroke has been banned from seeing her for 28 days.
An application was made on behalf of the woman in her 70s by Wiltshire Police at Swindon Magistrates Court on Monday.
And it was granted by chair of the bench Nigel Spinney, stopping Stephen Horn, 45, of Galsworthy Close, from having contact with the woman so she can seek support.
The court heard from an officer how Horn slapped the woman on her cheek on the afternoon of Saturday, July 10.
“She doesn’t want to make a complaint because she doesn’t want him going back to prison or losing his job at Domino’s,” the officer told the magistrates.
“There have been previous unreported incidents. He had been winding himself up to get into an argument and pesters her for money.”
Horn, who was not in court and has a previous conviction for death by dangerous driving, is also banned from going within 200metres of the woman’s house.
