Man convicted of attempting to intimidate witness

A youth will be sentenced next week for attempting to intimidate a victim, who had part of his ear bitten off, to drop the charges.

Dean Chalkey (aged 18) tried to kick down the victim’s door, called him a rat and broke a car window. Another man has already pleaded guilty to biting the victim’s ear in a random attack when the victim tried to stop him from stealing his car. This other accused faces sentence next year.
