A man choked his partner after she threatened to take their son away if he was still using illicit drugs.
Andrew James Smith spent his 40th birthday in Rockhampton District Court being sentenced after pleading guilty to one count to choking.
Crown prosecutor Matthew Fleetwood said Smith had been in a defacto relationship with the victim for 4.5 years at the time of the incident.
He said they were moving into a new residence on July 1, 2019, when she confronted him about a bag’s contents and told him she would take their son if he was doing drugs again.
