09.04.2022 - 20:45 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
An abusive husband who shaved part of his wife's head before throwing her beloved cat out of a window and a thug who kicked his heavily pregnant wife in the stomach and threatened to kill her are two of the criminals who have been locked up in our region this week.
Jail sentences are handed out to the worst offenders each week and Manchester Evening News reporters are in court to cover the most serious cases. This week, those in the dock also included a paedophile truck driver who molested two young girls - including a six year old - after offering to play board games with them.

Here are some of the criminals who were sentenced to jail time in Manchester so far this April.
A drunken mum dragged a policewoman along the road with her car as she tried to dodge being arrested - in a case with chilling echoes of PC Andrew Harper's killing. Drink driver Chantelle Owen, from Rochdale, pulled PC Amy Greenwood along the street for 130 feet as she tried to stop the 36-year-old speeding away in her car. Minshull Street Crown Court heard that the officer lost her footing and was dragged along the road by her knees - before she managed to haul herself up on her feet and grab the steering wheel.
Single mum-of-three Owen eventually stopped, but refused to get out of the BMW 120D M Sport and had to be forcibly removed. The incident occurred on December 20 last year after PC Greenwood was called to an address in Bury following reports Owen was having an argument with her boyfriend.
Tests showed Owen had 68 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, almost twice the legal limit of 35mg. She was bailed to attend court, but was arrested
