An estranged husband flushed his wife's computer dongle down the toilet in a row over a mobile phone, a court heard.
Paul Fulcher, 37, from Catton Grove Road, Norwich, pleaded guilty to damaging a mobile phone and a dongle belonging to Lisa Fulcher on February 4, when he appeared at Norwich Magistrates' Court yesterday.
Prosecutor Ben Brighouse said police attended after an altercation between the couple, who had been married 10 years but were now estranged.
He said: 'Both parties alleged that they had been assaulted.
