A HARASSMENT case against a Milford Haven man was dismissed after prosecutors offered no evidence.

David Daley, aged 45, of Murray Road, Milford Haven, appeared before Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Monday (Dec 15) for trial.

Daley had denied a charge of harassment without violence, relating to allegations that between October 28 and October 30 he persistently sent unwanted messages and attended at the home address of a female in Prioryville, Milford Haven.

No evidence was offered by the Crown Prosecution Service, and the charge was formally dismissed by the court.

A CARMARTHEN man has been handed a restraining order after admitting a public order offence involving a woman known to him.

Joe Davies, aged 40, of Rhos Las, Carmarthen, appeared before Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Monday (Dec 15), where he pleaded guilty to using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

The offence took place in Carmarthen on April 10, when Davies directed his behaviour towards Helena Davies.

The court heard that a victim personal statement was presented and read aloud by the prosecution.

Magistrates imposed a 12-month conditional discharge, taking Davies’ guilty plea into account. He was also ordered to pay £350 in prosecution costs.

A restraining order was imposed, banning Davies from contacting Helena Davies directly or indirectly, entering her home, or referring to her on any electronic device or online platform. The order will remain in force until December 15, 2026.

A MAN with no fixed address has been jailed after carrying out a drunken damage spree in Haverfordwest, which included smashing a car and breaking the front door window of a woman’s home.

Carl Rago, aged 29, of no fixed abode, appeared before Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Monday (Dec 15), where he was sentenced for offences committed on October 22.

The court heard that Rago damaged a white Vauxhall Corsa belonging to Charlie James Morgan, causing £368 worth of damage. He also smashed a window pane in the front door of Sophie Palmer’s home.

Rago denied the damage to the vehicle, but was found guilty in his absence earlier this month. He admitted the second count of criminal damage, for which the court was told he received credit for his guilty plea.

He also pleaded guilty to using threatening or abusive words or behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress on the same date. No separate penalty was imposed for that offence.

Magistrates were told the offences were aggravated by the fact that Rago was under the influence of alcohol and subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order at the time.

Sentencing him, the bench imposed a total custodial sentence of eight weeks’ imprisonment, with the terms running concurrently. Rago was also ordered to pay £368 compensation for the damage to the car and £350 compensation for the broken window, along with £650 in prosecution costs.

The magistrates said the offences were so serious that only an immediate custodial sentence could be justified.
