On July 12 last year the 39-year-old's former partner’s daughter returned home from school and noticed a strong smell of alcohol, said Charles Judge, prosecuting.

The woman found Maciuylaitis on her mother’s bed, and when she asked him to leave he told her he was there to teach her mother “a life lesson” for what she’d done to him.

Sentencing him, Recorder Paul Garlick said he had lay in wait for his former partner to teach her a lesson.

Jude Durr, for Maciuylaitis, said his client had no previous convictions and had spent five months in custody.

He was stopped by police at 4.30pm and had delivered £285 worth of drugs and had around £750 worth of drugs still to deliver that day.
