Levi Wilson, 33, was sentenced at Preston Crown Court to six years and nine months in prison after pleading guilty to wounding with intent. He attacked a man at his flat in Ingol on Halloween after arriving with a knife and demanding money or drugs, then repeatedly punched the victim in the face. The victim suffered multiple facial fractures, permanent scarring, impaired vision, numbness, chronic pain and PTSD, along with financial and family repercussions. Judge Darren Preston condemned Wilson's use of a knife and noted his previous drug-dealing conviction and positive cocaine test while on licence.
