Eight charges following report of assault

A man has been charged with eight offences following an alleged assault which left a woman in her 30s with injuries to her arms, legs and face.  

Officers were called to a disturbance at Waterside Leisure Park, Anchor Lane, Ingoldmells, just after 1.10am on Monday 27 May after a woman reported being assaulted.

On arrival, officers found a woman in need of assistance, and a significant amount of damage to the caravan, the outside gate, and a mobile phone which had been smashed.

Both were believed to have been known to each other.

The man reportedly left the scene in a vehicle before officers arrived.

Following a coordinated effort, officers located and arrested a suspect a short time later. Steven Hodgkinson, 35, of Cherry Avenue, Kirkby in Ashfield, Nottingham has been charged with eight offences that were alleged to have taken place in the early hours of Monday 27th May, including assault by beating, two counts of criminal damage, aggravated taking of a vehicle without consent, driving while disqualified, drink driving, driving without insurance, and failing to stop.

Hodgkinson was remanded into custody and will appear at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court today, Tuesday 28 May.
