Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on November 28 how Antony George Lowe, 25, formerly of Fern Close, Shirebrook, had been struggling to contact his ex while waiting at his mother’s home on Fern Close because he believed his ex was going to come with their child.

Prosecuting solicitor Neil Hollett told a previous hearing Lowe was in a mood and smashed a pint glass and pushed his mother.

Mr Hollett added that Lowe’s mother went outside and the defendant also made threats to petrol bomb her house and his ex’s house.

Prosecuting solicitor Mr Hollett said the defendant’s sister was upset and came down and she was grabbed by the defendant and pushed into the living room.

Mr Hollett added that Lowe pushed his sister again in the back and forced her to stumble and he grabbed her hair and Mr Hollett claimed Lowe slapped her with an open palm before she called police.

Lowe admitted to police that he had damaged a glass and that he had become angry while trying to contact his ex to get access to their child.
