‘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.
“When he first came before the court he was like a different person who was in a very bad place,” said Mr Lloyd. “It was the worst place he’s ever been in in his life.
“Despite the breach, this is someone who’s made real progress.”
Lloyd was fined £100 for the offence.
