A STREET fight in HAVERFORDWEST resulted in a court appearance for 33-year-old Jessica Paver after police were alerted to her behaviour by CCTV street footage.

The footage showed Paver falling repeatedly into the road on the night of August 12, and assaulting her partner, Elijah Aldred. She was then seen lunging towards a uniformed police officer and push her in the chest while hurling obscenities at her.

”She was heavily intoxicated, screaming and shouting and pushed one of the officers to her chest with both hands,” Crown Prosecutor Abigail Jackson told Haverfordwest magistrates. “She then kicked the officer to the right knee, causing her pain and bruising.”

Ms Jackson said that Mr Aldred didn’t wish to proceed with a complaint against Paver, however the Crown’s evidence was led by the CCTV footage.

A character reference was presented to magistrates written by the complainant as well as a lengthy probation report. Her solicitor, Katy Hanson, said the report highlighted the challenges which Paver has faced in her life, but stated she did not wish to discuss these in open court.

“She’s struggled with a number of traumatic events and as a result has complex PTSD and unstable personality disorder,” said Ms Hanson.

“This is someone who is trying to address her problems, not only for her, but for her family, and wants to ensure that this doesn’t happen.

“This is not how she normally behaves, she is deeply embarrassed, and regrets it.

Jessica Paver, 33, of Haven Drive, Hakin, pleaded guilty to assaulting an emergency worker by beating and a second charge of assaulting Eliija Aldred, by beating.

She was sentenced to a 12-month community order during which she must carry out 20 rehabilitation activity requirement days. She was fined £200 and ordered to pay £120 compensation, £85 costs and a £114 surcharge.
