A 15-YEAR-OLD has admitted assaulting a police officer during an incident in Milford Haven.

Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court heard that the offence took place on Saturday (Mar 1), when the youth assaulted Police Constable 573 Evans.

The defendant appeared before magistrates on Wednesday (Mar 19), where a guilty plea to common assault was entered.

The court granted unconditional bail and adjourned the case for sentencing.

The youth is due to appear again at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (Apr 2) at 10:00am for sentencing. The hearing is expected to last around 30 minutes.

Under Section 49 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933, the youth cannot be identified.

A YOUTH has been given a conditional discharge after admitting a series of offences in Haverfordwest, including assault, shop theft and interfering with motor vehicles.

Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court heard that the offences took place over a number of days in December 2025.

The court was told that on Saturday (Dec 6), the youth assaulted another child by beating them during an incident in the town. On the same date, they also stole two cans of Red Bull worth £5.40 from Tesco.

Further offences were committed on Tuesday (Dec 9), when the youth interfered with multiple vehicles at a vehicle repair workshop at Havens Head Business Park, Milford Haven. The offences involved attempts to interfere with vehicles with the intention of theft.

The youth appeared before magistrates on Wednesday (Mar 19), where guilty pleas were entered to all matters.

Magistrates imposed a 12-month conditional discharge for each offence, taking into account the early guilty pleas.

The court also ordered the youth to pay £100 in compensation to the victim of the assault and £5.40 in compensation to Tesco. No order for costs was made due to the financial circumstances involved.

Under Section 49 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933, the youth cannot be identified.

A PEMBROKE man has been remanded in custody after appearing before magistrates accused of threatening a woman with a knife, assaulting her and causing damage to property.

John Timmis, aged 41, of Olivers View, Pembroke, appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (Mar 19).

He is charged with threatening a person with a bladed article in a private place, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and criminal damage to property valued under £5,000.

The court heard that on Monday (Mar 17), at his home address, Timmis is alleged to have threatened Nicole Davis with a kitchen knife in such a way that there was an immediate risk of serious physical harm.

He is further accused of assaulting the same woman, causing actual bodily harm.

It is also alleged that between Saturday (Mar 15) and Tuesday (Mar 18), he damaged televisions belonging to her.

Case sent to Crown Court

Magistrates declined jurisdiction and sent the case to Swansea Crown Court for trial.

No pleas were entered in relation to the indictable matters.

Remanded in custody

Timmis was remanded in custody following a full bail application.

The court cited concerns that he may commit further offences, cause injury or fear of injury to an associated person, and interfere with witnesses.

Magistrates also considered the nature and seriousness of the allegations, along with his previous record and character.

Timmis is due to appear at Swansea Crown Court on Monday (Apr 20) at 10:30am for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
