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.

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