A MAN who was given a suspended sentence for assaulting a woman and two police officers in Pembrokeshire has gone to prison after removing his tag.

Daniel Phillips, 28, of no fixed abode, admitted breaching a suspended sentence order at Llanelli Magistrates Court on February 9.

He had appeared on January 9 in front of Haverfordwest Magistrates Court where he was given suspended sentences of 24 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months for assaulting a police officer (offence took place on January 7), a 20-week prison sentence suspended for 12 months for assaulting a woman in Milford Haven, and a 26-week prison sentence suspended for 12 months for assaulting a second police officer.

He was in front of Llanelli Magistrates Court on February 9 for a breach of this suspended sentence for failing to keep in touch with the responsible officer after January 19, failing to attend a planned appointment on January 26, and for removing his alcohol abstinence monitoring tag without authorisation on January 30.

The court activated the suspended prison sentences and sent him to jail for 24 weeks.
