A LOVER’S tiff resulted in a court appearance this week after a man fled from a property when his partner threw household items at his head.

But when Jonathan Langston called the police to inform them of his situation, he was stopped by officers less than a mile from his property, and found to be over the legal drink-drive limit.

“He had no intention of driving, but he’d had items thrown at him and was told to leave,” said his solicitor, Michael Kelleher.

Langston, 36, phoned the police to explain what was going on and officers apprehended his vehicle on the B4585 at Manorbier at around 10am on September 23.  A roadside breath test proved positive, and subsequent intoximeter tests showed he had 41 mcg of alcohol in his system.  The legal limit is 35.

Crown Prosecutor Nia James told magistrates that when arrested, Langston told officers, “I’d never have driven if I hadn’t had s*** thrown at me.”

Meanwhile Michael Kelleher said the defendant drives around 40,000 miles a year as a self-employed layer of resin floors.

“As a result of what’s happened, he’s now going to be unemployed,” he said.

Langston, who gave his address to the court as Brynbrain Road, Cwmllynfell, Swansea pleaded guilty to the charge of drink-driving.  He was disqualified from driving for 12 months and fined £120 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £48 court surcharge.

A HAVERFORDWEST man who suffers from severe arthritis as well as the debilitating condition ankylosing spondylitis, has appeared before magistrates charged with possessing 124 g of cannabis.

This week Haverfordwest magistrates heard how Mitchell Bird, 46, regularly takes cannabis to relieve his pain.

“He has severe arthritis in his ribs as well as ankylosing spondylitis and has had numerous heart attacks,” his solicitor, Michael Kelleher, told the court this week.

“He’s now been in touch with a medical cannabis clinic and will have  a face-to-face meeting with a doctor who will be able to prescribe cannabis to him as a pain relief.  That will be delivered to his door, but this costs twice as much as illegal cannabis.”

The drugs were discovered by police officers on July 16 when they carried out a search warrant at his home in Cormorant Close, Haverfordwest.

“The defendant allowed the police to search his garage where they found 124 grams of cannabis which had been put inside a glass jar and two separate bags,” said Crown Prosecutor, Nia James.

“Initially there was a suggestion that he had been growing cannabis, but there was no evidence to suggest any more serious offending.”

After pleading guilty to possessing the Class B drug, Bird was fined £120 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £48 surcharge,  A forfeiture and destruction order was imposed on the cannabis.
