A conman who stole half-a-million pounds from his victims, a thug who bit his girlfriend and a family locked up for a New Year's Day stabbing.
Here are some of the convicted criminals from Northamptonshire who were before the courts in May.
This is not an exhaustive list but a compilation of some of the cases heard in court.
5. SEAN BRIGHT
Bright, from Geddington, left his victim with a fractured jaw after a car park bust-up in Kettering. A judge told him he could have killed his victim and sentenced him to a conditional discharge.
6. CALLUM TOMLINSON
Tomlinson, formerly of Kettering, bit his girlfriend's face and headbutted her - while he was on a suspended sentence for a similar attack on his former partner. He was jailed for two-and-a-half years.
7. NASIR NIZAM
Nizam, formerly of Finedon, was TWICE caught with indecent images of children - the second three years after he wasn't arrested because of language difficulties. He was given a suspended sentence.
8. SIMON CHAPMAN
Chapman, of Burton Latimer, left his victim blind in one eye after a brutal attack at The Cordwainer. He was jailed for seven years and two months.
