Jailed: 'Terrifying' Telford abuser put flaming paper through letterbox and told ex 'I'll get you leathered'
An abuser who put flaming paper through a woman's letterbox before telling his ex he would get her "leathered" has been jailed.
Jamie Dodd, aged 29, set fire to the letters and posted them into the home of his ex's sister in Telford, where a six-month-old baby was inside.
Fortunately for those in the house, the woman was near the front door at the time and she was able to stamp the fire out.
Shrewsbury Crown Court heard that the incident took place on September 12 this year.
Rob Edwards, prosecuting, said: "At around 10.42am she was at home in the living room when she heard the letterbox rattle. Then began a smell of burning."
