Violent attack leaves engineer bleeding

A FIGHT in a nightclub in Tenby which left an innocent clubber bruised and bleeding landed two men in court on Tuesday.
Jimmy Douglas Boswell, 22, of Kingsmoor Common, Kilgetty pleaded guilty to one public order charge, and Jadey Hearne, 28, of Laugharne Close, Pembroke pleaded guilty to two charges of assault by beating.
David Wheale, from the Crown Prosecution Service, outlined the case: “At around 1.05am on July 7 police were called to attend The Prince of Wales nightclub following reports of an assault on a Mr Connor Davies, an aircraft technician.
“The club was busy, and one of the defendants had told Mr Davies that if anyone else bumps into them he would knock them out. Boswell had accused Davies of pushing in at the bar.”
The prosecutor continued: “The next thing Davies received a blow to the face which caught him off guard and knocked him off his feet. As he tried to get up off the floor he was kicked repeatedly.”
The court was shown photographs of the injuries sustained by Davies, as well as a CCTV video of the attack itself.
Everyone present sat silently whilst the video, which had no sound, was played in open court.
The prosecutor explained how after the attack Davies was brought to a small room with his eye bleeding before the police arrived.
During mitigation, Jonathan Webb, defending, told the court the words which were allegedly exchanged before the violence erupted. The Pembrokeshire Herald, however, cannot report what was allegedly said between the men. The crown prosecutor successfully made an application to the magistrates to prevent it being reported in the press. Section 58 of the Criminal Procedure and Investigation Act 1996 introduces an ‘additional safeguard’ by providing orders by court preventing the media from reporting derogatory or defamatory mitigation.
We can report what Mr Jonathan Webb said next: “After what was said, Boswell’s blood was boiling. A red mist, I am afraid, was in the air. Hearn realises that he should not have acted in the way he did.”
Magistrates fined Boswell a total of £265 for the public order offence. Hearne was given a curfew order to run from 8 to 5pm every day for 12 months.
Magistrates told Hearne: “We are glad you have now found full time employment as a scaffolder at Dragon LNG. We are also pleased you have started to attend anger management classes.”

‘Yeah but no but’ insult to female officer lands Monkton man with court fine

A MONKTON man who compared a female police officer to TV character Vicky Pollard during a nightclub incident has been fined after admitting causing alarm or distress.
Police were called to the nightclub in the early hours of March 28 following reports of a disturbance.
“It was around 3:00am and a number of police officers were present as a result of a dispute concerning the defendant,” Crown Prosecutor Dennis Davies told Haverfordwest magistrates on Monday (Mar 31). “He believed he’d been the victim of a robbery.”
During the altercation, 28-year-old Boswell pointed at one of the female officers and said he didn’t want to speak to her.
“He called her fat, and likened her to Vicky Pollard,” added Mr Davies.
Boswell was also seen pushing out towards his ex-partner.
“He didn’t make contact with her and no injuries were caused, but he was out of order,” Mr Davies continued.
Boswell pleaded guilty to causing a police officer alarm or distress, and to assaulting his ex-partner by beating. He was represented in court by solicitor Tom Lloyd.
“Being remanded in custody for a number of days since the offence may be sufficient punishment for the defendant,” said Mr Lloyd. “He’s recently been drinking heavily as a result of a family bereavement that’s upset him very much, but he now realises that he needs to sort himself out. His family are not impressed and will not tolerate this sort of behaviour.”
Boswell was fined £240 and ordered to pay a £96 court surcharge and £85 in costs.
“This was a foolish thing to do and has proved a very expensive night out,” commented the presiding magistrate.

Tenby man fined for failing to carry out unpaid work activity

FAILURE to attend unpaid work sessions following a court order imposed by Haverfordwest magistrates has resulted in another court appearance for Penally resident Cheyne Lloyd.
Lloyd, 30, failed to attend the unpaid work sessions on two separate occasions despite an 18-month community order imposed following a conviction for common assault.
The order was made in July 2023 comprising 25 RAR days and 200 hours of unpaid work, however Lloyd, of Alma Gardens, Penally, Tenby failed to attend the unpaid work sessions on two separate occasions in October 2024 and February 2025.
This week he pleaded guilty to the breach when he appeared before Haverfordwest magistrates.
He was legally represented in court by solicitor Tom Lloyd.

“Despite the breach, this is someone who’s made real progress.”
Lloyd was fined £100 for the offence.
