SERVING soldier Luke Currie has received a community sentence after admitting the assault by beating of his partner.
Currie, 26, pushed the woman against a wall after discovering she had sent text messages to another man, Skipton magistrates heard on Friday.
His partner had called the police and officers had gone to the address in Sutton-in-Craven on September 21, despite her making a second call to withdraw the complaint.
Currie, however, admitted to police that he had pushed his partner's head against a wall after 'seeing red'. The couple are now reconciled.
Currie, based at Weeton Barracks, Preston, was given a two-year community order with supervision and will have to attend a building better relations programme. He was also fined £100 and ordered to pay costs of £85 and a victims surcharge of £60.
