28-year-old Roisin Hannon, from Landore, encountered her ex-boyfriend with a new partner at a snooker club in Uplands on Sunday 26 January.
During a late-night heated argument about money, Hannon threatened to burn her ex’s house down, before pouring her drink over him and smashing him in the face with her glass, leaving him hospitalised with an arterial bleed.
The victim says he does not accept that any money was owed, and was concerned about inaccurate “gossip” about the incident in the community.
Hannon, who previously pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent, has four previous convictions for six offences including Class B drug-trafficking, shoplifting, being the owner of a dog that was dangerously out of control, and drink-driving.
She has been sentenced to 26 months in prison. Taking into consideration her guilty plea, she will serve up to half that sentence in custody before being released on licence to serve the remainder in the community.
Acting Detective Inspector Danielle Thorne from South Wales Police said: “This was a shameful act of violence which left the victim with serious injuries.
“Roisin Hannon did not care one bit about the wellbeing of the victim. Such violence has no place anywhere or at any time.
“She is now rightfully starting a term in prison, where hopefully she will reflect upon her actions and change her ways.”
