Crewe man jailed for domestic abuse against former partner

Thursday, 24 July 2025 11:48

A man from Crewe has been jailed for domestic abuse offences against his former partner.

Gary Beamon from West Street in Crewe appeared at Chester Crown Court on 24 July to be sentenced after being found guilty of one count of controlling or coercive behaviour, one count of assault by beating (which occurred on 8 October 2024), and false imprisonment (which occurred on 8th October 2024).

The 39-year-old was sentenced to three years in prison and was handed a lifetime restraining order.

On 8th October 2024 police were called to a domestic at a house in Crewe. The victim was 32 weeks pregnant at the time. Beamon answered the door but refused to let police in. He continued to refuse entry and blocked the door.

Officers then told him to put his hands behind his back after telling him he was being arrested for domestic assault. He continued to be aggressive and resist arrest which resulted in the officers having to call for emergency backup.

He was then arrested for resisting arrest.

Once out on bail and subjected to a Domestic Violence Prevention Notice, he lured his victim to his business in Crewe through a third party. She attended as she was told he wouldn’t be in the shop at the time.

When inside, Beamon appeared and tried to hug her. She refused and reported the incident to police along with an earlier assault in April 2024.

She then showed officers CCTV showing the incident on 8 October 2024 where Beamon was abusive and refused to let her leave her house. He stood over her shouting and swearing leaving her in a visibly upset and scared state.

Detective Inspector Kerrie Snowdon said:

“The victim had been subjected to abusive, violent and intimidating behaviour but bravely fought back by giving a full account to police of the horrific behaviour she was subjected to by a man who was supposed to love her.

“No one should be treated this way in any relationship, and I would like to commend her for her bravery in coming forward. I hope she can now rebuild her life and move on from this truly traumatic experience.”
