CRIMINALS jailed in October include a teen who stabbed an innocent couple, a driver who took cocaine before a horror crash and a robber who targeted a convenience store twice in three days.
Here are the people jailed for Dorset offences throughout October 2022.
Tyler Lee Cornish
A driver who crashed at a roundabout causing a passenger to suffer life-threatening injuries had taken both hands off the wheel to take cocaine earlier in the journey.
Tyler Lee Cornish, aged 22, was warned to slow down and that he “was not a Formula One driver” as he gave three people a lift home from their night out in Bournemouth.
Bournemouth Crown Court heard he laughed when these concerns were raised.
The court heard how Cornish performed a concerning overtake, was speeding and swerving across road markings before the crash at Tower Park Roundabout, Poole.
Cornish took both hands off the wheel several times, with him taking cocaine on one occasion.
An 18-year-old female backseat passenger had to undergo CPR at the scene of the crash before being rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
The court heard the woman had multiple spinal fractures, a bleed on the brain, a fractured skull, jaw, and ribs, with her spending several days in an induced coma in intensive care.
In a statement written six months after the crash, the victim said: “This accident has shattered me in every single way.”
Cornish, of Cinnamon Lane, Poole, pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and two counts of drug driving.
He was jailed for three years by Judge Jonathan Fuller KC.
Jamie Hollingsworth
A Bournemouth man who repeated the sexual abuse of young girl over a nine-month period has been jailed.
Jamie Hollingsworth, 37 and of Turbary Park Avenue, was sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court on October 4 after being found guilty at an earlier trial of causing or inciting a child under the age of 13 to engage in sexual activity.
The charges related to the repeated abuse of a young girl over a nine-month period.
Detective Constable Jo Shewbridge, of Dorset Police’s Child Abuse Investigation Team, said: “I want to praise the young victim in this case and her family for having the courage to come forward and for the support they have given throughout the investigation and court process.
“Through their bravery, Jamie Hollingsworth has been forced to face the consequences of his abusive behaviour.”
Hollingsworth was sentenced to seven years and nine months in prison, as well as being made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order for an indefinite period and was also placed on the sex offender’s register for life.
Luke Edwards Patrick Anderson
One of two brothers who meted out alcohol-fuelled violence on an innocent man while he was unconscious has been jailed.
Luke and Liam Anderson launched the attack at Pier Approach after recognising the victim as a man who was a “mate” of someone they had a dispute with earlier that evening.
Between them, the brothers dished out multiple blows upon the man in the form of punches, kicks and stamps.
Sentencing judge Recorder Malcolm Gibney said it was “only a matter of luck rather than judgement” that the victim did not suffer serious injuries.
The prosecutor said a witness described one of the strikes from Luke Anderson being like he was trying to kick a football for a penalty kick.
Both defendants, of Perth Close in Christchurch, gave no comment to questions about the assault when interviewed but pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Luke Anderson was also in breach of a suspended sentence order for an assault offence.
Luke Anderson, 23, received a sentence of two years’ immediate custody. Liam Anderson, 20, received a 16-month sentence, suspended for two years.
Jason Christopher Evans
A heroin addict who committed a burglary, two assaults on police officers and a dozen thefts has been jailed.
Jason Christopher Evans, 29 and of no fixed abode, committed the spate of crimes across five-and-a-half months in Bournemouth and Poole.
Evans, who pleaded guilty to all the offences bar four thefts which he was convicted of in absence, was involved in stealing more than £7,000 worth of goods.
The most serious matters were a burglary committed in Manor Road, Bournemouth, on November 17 last year and assaults on two police officers in Carnarvon Road, Boscombe.
Prosecuting, Francisca Da Costa, said Evans and another individual forced entry at Dunholme Manor and stole five bicycles, worth more than £5,000.
The assaults, meanwhile, took place when two police constables were pursuing the defendant on foot. He was garden hooping before eventually being tracked down.
Evans punched one officer in the face, causing a laceration to the top of the nose, and he swung an arm with struck the other police constable in the lip.
On October 17, Judge Robert Pawson jailed Evans for three years.
John Anthony Cooper
A knife-point robber who targeted a convenience store twice in three days has been jailed.
John Anthony Cooper committed the serious offences armed with a kitchen knife at Boscombe Convenience Store in Christchurch Road on September 11 and 13.
Bournemouth Crown Court heard in the first incident the 54-year-old defendant was holding the knife so it was pointing towards the complainant’s face.
In the second robbery, there was no such threatening gesture when the blade was produced.
Prosecutor Stuart Ellacott told the court the shopkeeper told police he did not feel afraid during the incident.
The court was told Cooper, of Aylesbury Road, Boscombe, was heavily under the influence of alcohol while offending.
Christopher Pix, mitigating, said his client, who pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery, had a great deal of remorse.
Judge William Mousley KC said the offences were both high culpability robberies due to the production of the knife and sentenced Cooper to four-and-a-half years in jail on October 21.
Bradley Green, Elyeas Ahmed, Tyler Smith and Keon Green
Three teenagers and a young man armed with machetes and knives tried to force their way into the home of their co-conspirator's father to steal thousands of pounds.
Bradley Green, Elyeas Ahmed, Tyler Smith and Keon Green were jailed for their roles in a conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary at an address in Mayfair Gardens, Kinson, in 2020.
The aggravated burglary plan was orchestrated by Natalie Wild, who organised the enterprise which saw her four co-defendants attempt to gain entry to her father’s home at night during the first Covid lockdown.
After failing to get in through the front door of the property, where Wild’s father was at home with his wife, Keon Green - Wild’s boyfriend - Smith, Amhed and Bradley Green smashed the front window using their machetes and knives.
The couple managed to escape and go to a neighbour’s address before calling police.
Bournemouth Crown Court heard five months before the incident took place, Wild had received a disclosure from social services on her childhood, which involved being placed into care at the age of two.
Wild held her father responsible for her fractured childhood and mental health difficulties. She shared what she had learned with boyfriend Keon Green and decided to organise the burglary on his home to try and get back at him.
The defendants, who all live in Leicester, were sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court on Monday, October 31. Keon Green, Smith, Ahmed and Wild pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary. Bradley Green was found guilty of this offence after trial.
Keon Green, aged 19, was sentenced to two years’ detention in a young offenders’ institution, Smith, aged 19, to 20 months’ detention, Ahmed, aged 20, to 17 months’ detention and Bradley Green, aged 22, to three years’ imprisonment.
Wild, aged 20, received two years’ detention, suspended for two years, with a requirement to carry out 40 days of rehabilitation activity.
Jed Albion Hudson
A burglar caught red-handed carrying a stolen television in the middle of the night told police he found it in the street.
Jed Hudson gave the false account to police when he was apprehended in the same road as where the break-in had taken place.
He was also in court for a separate burglary and theft of a British Gas van in which he was identified through fingerprints left on a bottle of cider left in the vehicle.
Prosecuting, Lucy Conroy said Hudson and co-defendant Jessi Iliana Preston, who did not attend the hearing, committed a burglary at an address in Queen’s Park Avenue, Bournemouth, at around 11.15pm on April 8.
The resident was away on holiday at the time of the incident but neighbours heard bangs and called police.
Police arrived at 11.25pm and saw the defendants in Queen’s Park Avenue, with Hudson carrying a television, two remote controls and a torch.
“Mr Hudson looked at his co-defendant and said we found it in the street,” Ms Conroy said.
The British Gas van burglary Hudson was sentenced for was committed in the Maidstone area in December 2020.
Referencing the lie he told to police after the Queen’s Park Avenue burglary, sentencing judge Recorder Malcolm Gibney said: “You are apprehended close by in possession of the television and had the audacity to suggest you had found it in the street.”
Hudson, 32 and of Craigmoor Avenue, Bournemouth, was jailed for 34 months on Tuesday, October 25.
Preston, 30 and of Garfield Avenue, is due to be sentenced on a charge of burglary at a later date.
Justin Brosnan and Joey Lee Croxall
A brave couple who attempted to deter two teenagers from trying to break into a Bournemouth property ended up being victims of a violent knife attack.
The man and woman saw Justin Brosnan and Joey Lee Croxall in the Holdenhurst Road area of Springbourne trying to smash their way into a home.
After telling them they “can’t be doing that”, the victims decided to continue on their walk believing they had made best efforts to intervene.
However, they soon realised the defendants were following them.
Brosnan, who turned 18 on the day of the sentencing hearing, produced a kitchen knife from his waistband and started to chase after the couple.
Brosnan proceeded to stab at the couple repeatedly, with the man eventually suffering seven wounds and the woman suffering four wounds.
Fortunately their injuries could be treated in hospital and they were discharged the same day.
Prosecuting, Tom Evans said in a “heroic act” the man had put himself between Brosnan and his partner during the attack.
Croxall, aged 18, did not inflict any physical violence but he was egging on his co-defendant.
Mr Evans said: “One witness was sure that having seen the incident or part of it, that she had witnessed the killing of somebody.”
Judge Stephen Climie jailed Brosnan, of Methuen Close, Bournemouth, for three-and-a-half years and Croxall, of Westover Road, Bournemouth, for 18 months.
Amman Khan-Brown and Lee Wedderman

Two drug dealers who were exploiting children as young as 13 to act as drugs runners have been jailed.
Amman Khan-Brown, 20, and Lee Wedderman, 21, both of London, appeared at Bournemouth Crown Court on October 21 where they were sentenced for two charges of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.
On May 16, officers attended an address in Boscombe, where Khan-Brown and Wedderman were located and a quantity of suspected class A drugs as well as around £1,000 in cash were recovered.
The drugs were confirmed as cocaine and heroin, with a total street value estimated at more than £1,200.
Police also seized two mobile phones from the address, which were found to contain evidence that they were being used for the supply of class A drugs.
Information obtained by officers indicated the two defendants were running a county line supplying class A drugs in the Bournemouth area and were exploiting children as young as 13 to act as drugs runners.
Khan-Brown was sentenced to three years and two months in prison and Wedderman received a jail term of two years and two months. Both also had to pay a £190 victim surcharge.
Aron Simon James Dunn
An uninsured drink driver who killed his girlfriend’s cousin after overtaking a car at speed on a bend and crashing into a tree has been jailed.
Aron Dunn, aged 30, was jailed for causing the death of 23-year-old Jade Elliott-Davis in the single-vehicle crash on the B3081 Shaftesbury Road between Shaftesbury and Gillingham.
Bournemouth Crown Court heard Jade was just a baby when her mother died at the age of 16 in a road traffic collision.
Prosecuting, Stuart Ellacott said the defendant was at the wheel of an Audi A6 on the evening of the incident with his partner and her cousin in the vehicle.
The court heard he overtook two vehicles on the B3081, with the second happening moments before the crash in the area near Port Regis School.
Mr Ellacott told the court that the husband of the woman who was in the car overtaken shortly prior to the incident warned her partner to “slow down, he will hit a tree in a minute”.
In a police interview Dunn accepted driving, that he was only a provisional licence holder and that he was not insured.
The prosecutor said Dunn had consumed alcohol and was over the legal drink drive limit before the crash.
Dunn, of Addison Close, Gillingham, pleaded guilty to a single charge of causing death by dangerous driving and was sentenced to two-and-a-half years.
Zachariah Paul Attley
A man has been jailed for four years following a robbery in Bournemouth.
Zachariah Paul Attley, 31 and of Batchelor Crescent, West Howe, was sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court on Tuesday, October 25, after pleaeding guilty to a single charge of robbery.
During the evening of Saturday, January 1, the victim – a man aged in his 40s – met Attley on a night out in Charminster Road.
The pair were drinking together in Havana Bar and subsequently walked toward the area of the Golden Supermarket at around 2.15am on Sunday, January 2.
While outside the shop, Attley punched the victim in the mouth and stole his wallet, which contained £50 in cash and bank cards.
The victim’s teeth were knocked out and he required dental treatment.
Officers attended and the defendant was arrested a short time later at around 2.50am.
Detective Constable Liam Moss, of Dorset Police, said: “Attley befriended the victim and socialised with him for a number of hours before assaulting him and stealing his wallet.
“This was an unprovoked incident that understandably left the victim feeling shaken.
“I am pleased that Attley has been held accountable for his actions and I hope this case sends out a message that we take violence on the streets of Dorset very seriously.”
