NATHAN TEAL, 24, of Llanmiloe, was accused of assaulting two police officers in Llanmiloe on August 6.

He pleaded guilty at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on October 1 to common assault of an emergency worker and assault by beating of an emergency worker.

The case was adjourned for the preparation of a pre-sentence report, and the defendant was ordered to return to court for sentence on October 15. He was granted bail until that date.

DANIEL PARKINSON, 38, of Heol Glyndwr in Fishguard, has been found to have not identified the driver of a Ford Transit when required by police.

An offence of failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver of a vehicle when required was proved using the single justice procedure on July 18.

Parkinson was sentenced at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on October 9 to pay a £180 fine, £110 in costs and a £72 surcharge.

He also had six points added to his licence, but avoided a driving ban due to the mitigation of the “exceptional hardship” this would cause to his work and employees.

Greest was driving a BMW 730 on the A40 at Robeston Wathen on March 27, and it was found there was no valid insurance policy in place.

The defendant switched their plea to guilty at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on October 9.

Greest was fined £1,000 and was ordered to pay a £400 surcharge and £110 in costs. The defendant also had six points added to their licence.
