Grimsby man charged with new strangulation offence
A Grimsby man has been remanded after being charged with a new offence.
Andrew Prior (26), of Ross Mews, has been charged with section 47 assault, and non-fatal strangulation – an offence that was brought in at the start of last month.
Non-fatal strangulation was made a specific offence as part of the Domestic Abuse Act. The practice typically involves a perpetrator strangling or intentionally affecting their victim’s ability to breathe in an attempt to control or intimidate them.
Prior has been remanded in custody to appear at court at a later date.

Court summons are pending for two motorists, one in a car and another on a motorbike, after they clocked up unbelievable speeds on the A46 on Tuesday.
Lincolnshire Police Specialist Operations received two reports of excessive speeds on the A46 between Newark and Lincoln on Tuesday.
A car and motorbike both hit speeds of almost double the dual carriageway speed limit, with the car driver reaching 120 miles per hour and the motorbike going even quicker at 127mph.
Both motorists will be receiving a summons for court “in due course”, according to Lincolnshire Police.
Work by our Lincoln Neighbourhood Policing Teams to combat theft in the city has had another boost following the charge of a further two individuals.
Adam Golightly, 43, of Allandale View, Lincoln, was arrested following a proactive shop theft operation in the city centre last week. He has been charged with seven counts of theft and two bike thefts.
All of the shop thefts are reported to have taken place at Co-op stores in the city centre area and Carholme Road between June and last week. Items stolen included meat and cleaning products to the value of £424. The bike thefts also happened during that period. One of the bikes stolen was valued at £360, the other was an unknown value.
Following a hearing at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court on 12 August where he entered a not guilty plea, he has been given conditional bail and will appear at the court for trial on 22 September. His bail condition is not to enter any Coop store in Lincolnshire.
In a separate case, Carl Atkin, 37, of Friar’s Lane, Lincoln, was charged on 11 August with five bike thefts which took place at different times and locations across the city. On 12 August at a hearing at Lincoln Magistrate’s Court, he was given a 10 week sentence, suspended for 12 months.
