A man with a history of family violence threw a woman to the floor after the pair argued. Despite a protection order being in place since 2012, the woman was with Donald Munro at his place on September 27 in Palmerston North. You grabbed her and pushed her to the ground,” Judge Jonathan Krebs told Munro. He acknowledged Munro acted inappropriately, but said Munro and the woman had been violent towards each other in the past. He cannot contact the woman or consume alcohol or drugs, and must complete family violence programmes if ordered to by his probation officer.
