Glasgow man who spat on his mum and said he hoped she got coronavirus jailed
Liam Dallimore had only been released from jail hours before the assault in April
A Glasgow man who spat on his mum and told her he hoped she got coronavirus hours after being released from jail is now back behind bars.
Liam Dallimore, 28, assaulted Janette Jackson, 57, at her home in Govan in April this year.
Dallimore also grabbed two kitchen knives from the property and went out into the public.
He pleaded guilty on Wednesday at Glasgow Sheriff Court to the assault and the unlawful possession of the knives, and was jailed for 15 months.
The court heard Dallimore was released on April 15 and turned up at his Miss Jackson’s house drunk in the early hours of the morning.
He was initially denied entry to the property by Miss Jackson.
Prosecutor Graham MacDonald said: “Dallimore spat at his mother’s face.
“He said ‘I hope you get Covid’.”
Dallmore went into the kitchen and took two blades before fleeing the property with them.
A 999 call was made and Dallimore was later traced and arrested but the knives were never recovered.
Callum Weir, defending, called the incident “disgusting” and that Dallimore has no recollection of what happened.
Sheriff Johanna Johnston QC said: “You have a record for committing these types of offences and you are going to jail.
“I take a serious view of the assault on your mother.”
Sheriff Johnston ordered that Dallmore will serve 80 days of his previous sentence before his latest period starts.
