A man who permanently disfigured a woman after biting her on the face has been jailed for six months.
Craig Hewitson denied assaulting the woman at an address in Ardrossan but was found guilty after trial at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week.
The 42-year-old was also found guilty of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at Saltcoats Police office.
Hewitson, of Winton Place in Ardrossan, assaulted the woman on January 20 of this year. He seized her by the head and bit her on the face to her injury and permanent disfigurement.
The following day at Saltcoats Police Station, Hewitson repeatedly shouted, swore and behaved in an aggressive manner.
Hewitson was given six months imprisonment and a Non-Harassment Order.
