7. Kyle Foster
Drunken thug Kyle Foster, who pinned his partner down and beat her so badly he knocked out her teeth during a sickening attack, has been jailed for 16 months and given a five-year restraining order. The court heard the woman, who was left spitting blood and felt her eye beginning to swell, may have lost consciousness before her sister intervened. 31-year-old Foster admitted ABH, assault and criminal damage. | WYP / Adobestock

10. Neil Preece-Smith
Neil Preece-Smith, who has been serving consecutive jail sentence for more than 20 years, used the communal prisoner phones at HMP Wakefield to call MPs and make vile threats to rape and kill them 'like Jill Dando'. The 41-year-old contacted the offices of MPs in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Cambridgeshire and Edinburgh. He was handed a new seven-year sentence and a restraining order to prevent him contacting the MPs. | WYP / National World

12. Lee Campy
Drug dealer Lee Campy, who had a tiny baby in his car as he was out selling drugs, was sentenced to 15 months in prison after he was found guilty of dealing in a Class B drugs and possessing criminal property. The 49-year-old was found to be dealing in amphetamine after thousands of pounds worth were found stashed at his home. The judge said having spent seven months on remand, it would be likely Campy would be freed on licence imminently. | WYP
