A FISHGUARD man has admitted assaulting a woman and damaging property during an incident earlier this year.

Peter Bromley, aged 50, of Parc y Chwarel, Fishguard, appeared before magistrates at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court for a first hearing.

He pleaded guilty to assault by beating and criminal damage.

The court heard that on January 13, 2026, at Fishguard, Bromley assaulted a woman by beating her.

During the same incident, he also damaged crockery belonging to her.

Magistrates adjourned the case for sentencing to allow a pre-sentence report to be prepared.

Bromley was remanded on conditional bail and must return to Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, February 26 at 12:00pm.

Strict bail conditions were imposed. He must not contact the complainant directly or indirectly and must not attend her address in Fishguard.

Sentencing will take place later this month.

Walters fined and ordered to complete rehabilitation programme after admitting breach of court-imposed restrictions

A NARBERTH man has been handed a community order after admitting breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

John Walters, aged 61, Townmoor, Narberth, appeared before magistrates at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court for sentence on Tuesday (Feb 4).

The court heard that between December 5 and December 7, 2025, Walters breached the terms of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order which had been imposed by Swansea Crown Court in June 2022.

Walters indicated a guilty plea at an earlier hearing.

Magistrates imposed a community order running until August 3, 2027. As part of the sentence, he must complete the Building Choices Programme, consisting of 21 sessions, and comply with up to 15 days of rehabilitation activity at the direction of a responsible officer.

The court also fined him £200, stating the penalty was set as a punitive element.

Walters was ordered to pay £85 prosecution costs and a £114 victim surcharge. A collection order was made for the money to be deducted from benefits at a rate of £20 per month.

Sexual Harm Prevention Orders are designed to restrict behaviour and protect the public. Breaching the terms of such an order is a criminal offence and can lead to further penalties, including imprisonment.

Fifteen-year-old charged with Section 18 grievous bodily harm and possession of a bladed article appears before Swansea magistrates

A FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD boy has been remanded into custody after appearing in court charged with causing serious injuries to a teacher during a knife incident at Milford Haven Comprehensive School.

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Swansea Magistrates’ Court on Saturday following his arrest on Thursday afternoon.

Magistrates heard the alleged attack took place shortly after 3:00pm inside a classroom at the school.

Classroom incident

Prosecutors said the boy is accused of producing a kitchen knife while speaking with a female teacher who was helping him with his work.

The court heard the teacher suffered injuries to her head, back and finger and later received hospital treatment. Her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

Emergency services were called to the scene and officers attended the school as a precaution while the situation was brought under control.

Charges outlined

The teenager is charged with Section 18 grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a bladed article on education premises, offences under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.

Section 18 relates to intentionally causing really serious harm and is one of the most serious assault offences in law.

During the brief hearing, the defendant spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth. No pleas were entered.

Family members watched proceedings from the public gallery.

Case moves to Crown Court

Magistrates declined bail and remanded the boy into youth detention accommodation.

He is due to appear next at Swansea Crown Court on February 9.

The Herald understands that safeguarding procedures were put in place at the school following the incident, with pupils kept safe while officers dealt with enquiries.

Police investigations remain ongoing.
