Mum jailed after glass attack on pensioner
Jeez....now thats scary
A Hampshire mum spent the festive season behind bars after glassing a pensioner.
Maria Lukins was sharing a taxi ride with a 66-year-old woman whom she did not know after a night out in Shirley, in Southampton.
But after pulling up to let the woman out, Lukins smashed a glass into her face for no reason, leaving her with a gaping wound on her eyebrow.
Lukins then fled and the driver called the police, but within seconds she was back with a metrelong stick which she used to smash the cab window.
The driver managed to shield himself as police arrived on the scene.
When an officer searched Lukins they found cannabis and also the driver’s mobile phone.
Southampton Crown Court heard the incident happened just days after she assaulted a 30-year-old woman in her own flat in Millbrook, kicking her and using a key, leaving her “looking as if she had been involved in a car accident”.
Lukins then warned her victim if she called the police she would organise for men to come and rape her.
The 26-year-old, of Studland Close, pleaded guilty to charges of assault occasioning bodily harm, damaging property, theft and possessing cannabis.
But the court heard how Lukins had committed 26 offences in the past, including assaulting a child, assaulting a police officer, intimidating a potential witness, criminal damage and harassment.
She was sentenced to three years in jail. Fayza Benlamkadem, mitigating for Lukins, said alcohol was her client’s “friend and her worst enemy” but that she had been attending Alcoholics Anonymous while on remand.
