Assault
In August 2010 he was convicted of physically assaulting his ex girlfriend, Monica Ward with whom Berry has a son, by throttling and threatening to kill her. He was sentenced to four weeks in prison after having first received a community service sentence but refusing to co-operate. He was arrested at Euston Station in London in November 2010 for breaching a restraining order Ward was granted following the prior assault, and escorted back to the North West to appear before magistrates in Manchester.
On the 23 December 2010, the Sun newspaper published an article complete with photographs of Berry in an organised bare-knuckle brawl in a scrap-yard office with Dom Morrison, bass player with Manchester band Space Monkeys. The accompanying article claims the brawl was organised as a 'straightener' between love rivals; Morrison is reported to be in a relationship with Ward. The Brawl was ended by a referee after 15 minutes with both men walking away. The photographs show Berry bleeding from the eye and mouth.
