The court heard that between September 1 and September 13, 2025, at Milford Haven, Whatling pursued a course of conduct which amounted to harassment of Carol Whatling.

Court told offence was committed during suspended sentence period
A CARMARTHENSHIRE man has been jailed after admitting possessing a lock knife in a public place.
David Jones, aged 61, of Cwmcatty, Porthyrhyd, appeared before Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Friday (Jun 5).
He admitted that on June 4, at Llanelli, he had a lock knife with him in a public place without good reason or lawful authority.
Jones was jailed for four months.
The court record stated the offence was so serious that only custody could be justified, and that it was committed during the operational period of a suspended sentence.
