A Doncaster man is today beginning a more than four-year stint behind bars after pouring boiling water over another man and stealing a car.
33-year-old Andrew Pilkington, formerly of East Avenue, Woodlands, appeared at Sheffield Crown Court yesterday (Monday 3 July), where he was jailed for a total of four years and 10 months for his crimes.
Pilkington received four years for assaulting another man whilst he was an inmate at HMP Doncaster in May last year, where he poured boiling water over him.
A/Detective Sergeant Alex Dorlin, from the prison investigation team, said: “The victim was left with severe burns to his head, neck, chest and back as a result of this vicious attack and has been left with permanent scars.
“After being released from prison, Pilkington went on to commit a further crime in January of this year, where he stole a car from the Bentley area of Doncaster.
“As soon as officers spotted the stolen car, being driving by Pilkington, they began to pursue it. Pilkington was driving recklessly, putting other road users at risk as he drove through red lights and a no entry sign in a bid to evade arrest.
“Eventually, he stopped the car and tried to run from officers but was arrested soon after and brought into custody.”
Pilkington pleaded guilty to taking a vehicle without consent and to dangerous driving, in addition to assault causing actual bodily harm.
He was jailed for a total of four years for assault, two months for stealing the car and a further eight months for dangerous driving.
