The court heard from prosecutor Eleanor Peart that the 62-year-old had assaulted a woman by beating in an incident in Hereford on May 22.
Ball, of Bankside, Mansell Gamage, was handed an 18-month community order and fined £25 for the offence with magistrates saying that they had taken his guilty plea into account when deciding on the penalty.
He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £100 and a £114 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
