A man has pleaded guilty to assault and multiple charges of criminal damage after driving a military-style truck at police vehicles.
Geoff Marshall, 41, of Station Road, Norton Fitzwarren, appeared at Taunton Magistrates’ Court earlier.
He pleaded guilty to one count of assault by beating, 12 of criminal damage, and one of dangerous driving.
Marshall was remanded in custody and will appear at Taunton Crown Court for sentencing on 13 October.
The court heard the incident began on Sunday afternoon with an argument between Marshall and his partner at their home in Norton Fitzwarren, near Taunton, over text messages she found on his mobile phone.
Paul Kelly, prosecuting, said that fearing for her safety, she left the property and called the police.
