Published

on

SARAH Lewis-Moane, 34, of Three Meadows, Haverfordwest, is scheduled to appear in court on Monday (Jul 8) facing multiple charges of skipping bail and one charge of failing to provide a specimen.

The hearing will take place at 2:00 PM.

Lewis-Moane faces her first charge for failing to provide a specimen for analysis on 29 April 2024 at Haverfordwest Police Station. According to the charge sheet, she was suspected of having driven a vehicle and was required to provide a specimen of blood for a laboratory test as part of an investigation under the Road Traffic Act 1988. However, she allegedly failed to provide the specimen without a reasonable excuse. Lewis-Moane has entered a plea of not guilty.

In addition to the charge of failing to provide a specimen, Lewis-Moane is also facing four separate charges related to failing to surrender to police or court bail at the appointed times. On 21 May 2024, she allegedly failed to appear at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court after being released on bail by Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on 15 May 2024. Similarly, on 14 May 2024, she allegedly failed to appear at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court after being released on bail by Haverfordwest Police Station on 29 April 2024. These charges are contrary to section 6(1) of the Bail Act 1976, carrying a maximum penalty of three months imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine.

Moreover, two additional charges state that on 21 May 2024 and 14 May 2024, Lewis-Moane failed to surrender at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court or as soon as was reasonably practicable, contrary to section 6(2) of the Bail Act 1976. These charges also carry a maximum penalty of three months imprisonment and/or a level 5 fine.

All charges have been adjourned from the initial hearing for the trial to take place. Sarah Lewis-Moane has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

TWO WOMEN were arrested following a disturbance at the Mount Estate in Milford Haven on Saturday night (May 9).

The Herald understands the arrests followed an altercation involving four people.

Video circulating on social media shows two women lying face down on the ground outside while handcuffed and restrained by police officers.

In the footage, officers can be heard telling one woman that she is being arrested on suspicion of assaulting police.

Both women were then taken away, each flanked by officers.

Other women can be seen speaking to those detained while they remain on the ground.

The Herald has contacted Dyfed-Powys Police for further details, including confirmation of the number of arrests, the nature of the incident, and whether anyone was injured.

ELIZABETH COURT SCENE STOOD DOWN AFTER DOMESTIC INCIDENT

A FOUR-HOUR police standoff in Pembroke Dock has ended with a 21-year-old man arrested on suspicion of inflicting grievous bodily harm.

Dyfed-Powys Police said the incident at Elizabeth Court has now been stood down and the scene released.

The man has been taken to hospital to receive medical attention.

Chief Inspector Dominic Jones said: “I want to thank local residents for their patience while we dealt with this incident. I understand that such a large police presence in a residential street is concerning to see, and I’m grateful to everyone who co-operated with our officers at the scene.

“I’d like to offer my reassurance that our units responded to an isolated domestic incident, and there was no further threat posed to the wider community. The scene has now been released, and we will investigate the full circumstances of this morning’s incident.”

Officers were called to the address this morning (Saturday, May 9), with a large police presence remaining in the area for several hours.

Eyewitnesses told The Herald that police were asking a man upstairs to come down, with tasers drawn during the incident.

Police dogs, specialist officers and what appeared to be a negotiator were also seen at the scene.

The incident lasted from around 11:00am until about 3:10pm.

TEENAGER REMANDED AHEAD OF JULY TRIAL

A 15-YEAR-old boy has denied attempting to murder a teacher during a stabbing incident at Milford Haven School.
