Ellesmere Port Man Jailed for 39 Months Over Café Attack Days After Release

Police say he reoffended five days after release under a Serious Violence Reduction Order.

Overview

  • Terrance Maughan, 40, was sentenced at Chester Crown Court on August 27 after pleading guilty to threatening a person with an offensive weapon, affray and criminal damage.
  • He also admitted breaching a Serious Violence Reduction Order and his prison licence imposed upon his release on February 20.
  • The court heard he struck a woman, threatened to burn people and the café, then returned with a screwdriver and attempted to stab a man who had intervened.
