A NEATH man bit his mum on the bum and threatened to kill his stepdad with a garden fork, a court has heard.
Violence flared after a drunken Jacob Lee Williams visited his parent's house in Melyn in the early hours of the morning.
Swansea Crown Court heard that Williams and his mother's partner do not get on, and after being told he could not stay at the property he began shouting at the couple and banging the front door.
He then kicked his way into his parents' garden shed and armed himself with a garden fork, before threatening to kill his step-dad while making stabbing gestures to him.
Craig Jones, prosecuting, said the defendant's mother tried to disarm Williams, and the pair ended up tussling on the floor whereupon the defendant "bit his mother on the backside".
Williams, aged 24, of no fixed address, had previously pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, making threats to kill, and criminal damage on June 12 when he appeared in the dock for sentencing.
Frank Phillips, for Williams, said the defendant had left home at 17 because he did not get on with his stepfather but was "hoping to achieve a rapprochement" with his mother.
Judge Peter Heywood said the courts always treated making threats to kill seriously — the more so when the person making them armed themselves with a weapon.
For making threats to kill Williams was sentenced to eight months, for actual bodily six months, and for criminal damage one month, all sentences to run concurrently and all suspended for 18 months.
He was also ordered to complete a rehabilitation course, and was made the subject of a restraining order banning him from contacting his parents for the next two years.
