Man used his car to pin partner's ex-boyfriend against shutters in Castleford after 'domestic fallout'

Jason Challoner, 26, of Exchange Street in Normanton, used his car “as a weapon” and drove into the man and his friend after they came to meet him in Castleford on April 23 last year. He was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court yesterday (Tuesday) to 14 months imprisonment after pleading guilty to one charge of dangerous driving.

Prosecuting, Jade Edwards said that the man was lured into meeting Challoner after receiving a text from his former partner the day before saying that someone would drop their child off to him. He then received a call from a male voice on a private number asking where the child should be dropped off.

When the man asked who it was, the voice replied in a “threatening and disconcerting” manner: “You will find out who I am tomorrow”
