A PRISON sentence has been handed to a man who sent threatening voicemails to a woman in Oxford.

Daniel St Cyr, of no fixed abode, was sentenced at Oxford Magistrates’ Court on January 11 this year for one count each of sending a threatening communication and assaulting an emergency worker.

The 52-year-old pleaded guilty to both offences and was sentenced on the same date.

He was given a one-month prison sentence due to the offences being ‘so serious only a custodial sentence can be justified’.

During the court proceedings, it was heard that St Cyr had sent five telephone voicemails to a woman in Oxford on January 6 last year.

The threatening messages caused the woman, who we have decided not to name, ‘distress and anxiety’.

On the same day, St Cyr beat an emergency worker, namely a police constable, in Abingdon while he was acting in the exercise of his functions as such a worker.

He was handed a second one month prison sentence for the assault which ran concurrently to the first offence.

As well as the prison sentence, St Cyr was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £154. There were no orders for a victim surcharge or for compensation to be paid.

It is believed that St Cyr was imprisoned at HMP Bullingdon near Bicester.
