Jamie Warner broke brother's jaw and left him missing three fingers on his left hand, as well as breaking his jaw and assaulting his mum
A man who twice caused serious injuries to his own brother - including leaving him missing three fingers - has been locked up.
Jamie Warner admitted assaulting his older brother Scott, breaking his jaw, in a drunken fight before Christmas.
The 26-year-old of Maes Goronwy, Benllech also admitting a charge of dangerous driving on the A5025 at Pentraeth , Anglesey last August.
As a result of injuries caused in the accident his brother had to have three fingers on his left hand amputated.
Warner also admitted a charge common assault on his mother, and breaching a restraining order from the Christmas Eve incident and motoring offences from the earlier matter.
Jailing him for a total of three years Judge Huw Rees said: “I hope you are covered in shame every time you look at your brother and see his hand.”
Prosecutor Emmalyne Downing said the Warner and his brother had been out drinking in a pub last August and were approaching Pentraeth when the Ford Mondeo Jamie Warner was driving lost control and ended up on its roof.
She said Scott Warner told police he had looked at the speedometer and seen it pass 80mph and told his brother to slow down.
His next recollection was being on the side of the road speaking to a police officer and his hand wrapped in a cloth.
Both brothers were injured and taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd for treatment. Scott Warner was later transferred to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire at Stoke-on-Trent for further treatment.
Jamie Warner was charged with dangerous driving and appeared before a judge at Mold Crown Court on December 23 where he pleaded guilty.
Sentence, said Ms Downing, was adjourned for reports and Warner granted bail.
Returning to Anglesey both brothers went out that evening to a pub and on the way started arguing and this led to a fight the court heard.
Warner admitted punching his brother several times breaking his jaw in two places. He also suffered cuts and bruises.
Armed himself with knife
When his mother tried to intervene in the argument Warner went to the kitchen and armed himself with a knife although the judge accepted it was not used.
Defending barrister Dafydd Roberts said Warner accepted a jail term was inevitable.
He added Warner realised he has a temper and difficulty in controlling it after drinking alcohol.
“When sober he is a polite and courteous young man and says he is not going to drink again,” he said.
The matter should have been heard last week and the judge was critical of the way the case had been prepared by the Crown Prosecution Service.
He asked for a written explanation why important medical evidence had not been presented to the court.
After the hearing Detective Sergeant Daf Curry of North Wales Police said: “I hope today’s sentencing encourages other victims of domestic abuse to come forward.
“Domestic Abuse is a crime and with our partners we will do all we can it eradicate it from our communities and vigorously pursue those who commit these acts.
“Our thoughts remain with the victim and I hope too they are reassured by today’s action.”
