A TENBY man who assaulted his partner, biting her neck and breast, has been handed a suspended prison sentence.

Alexander Osborn, 24, of Heywood Court, Tenby, pleaded guilty to assaulting Morgan Berry and causing criminal damage to her clothing during the incident.

Crown Prosecutor Nia James told Haverfordwest magistrates that a neighbour heard Berry pleading to be allowed to go home. Police arrived to find her with bruising, scratches, and bite marks.

Defence solicitor Michael Kelleher claimed both parties had been drinking, and Osborn tried to stop Berry leaving the house in an inappropriate state.

Osborn was sentenced to 12 months in custody, suspended for 24 months. He must complete 40 rehabilitation activity days, an alcohol abstinence monitoring requirement, and a mental health treatment programme.

Crown Prosecutor Nia James said: “A number of bottles of vodka were in the front of the trolley, and the alarm tags were still attached.”

Charge pleaded guilty to theft and was fined £120. She must also pay £85 costs and a £48 court surcharge.

A DRUNKEN passenger who refused to pay a £3.80 train fare verbally abused and threatened a train conductor.

Malcolm Edwards, 55, of Parc Graig, Aberystwyth, pleaded guilty to using threatening words and behaviour with intent to cause harassment.

“I do not come to work to be treated like this,” said the conductor, describing the abuse as distressing and belittling.

Edwards was fined £200 and ordered to pay £85 costs and an £80 court surcharge.
