A HAVERFORDWEST man caught with cocaine and a serrated bread knife in Milford Haven has been handed a fresh community order.

Joshua Rowland, aged 22, of Glebe House, Haverfordwest, appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Monday (Jun 15).

The court heard that a previous community order, imposed in September 2025, was revoked after unpaid work was deemed unsuitable due to medical issues.

Rowland had originally been sentenced for possessing 0.3 grams of cocaine in Milford Haven on Thursday (Jan 2), and for having a serrated bread knife in a public place without good reason or lawful authority on the same date.

A further offence related to Rowland testing positive for Class A drugs while in custody at Haverfordwest Police Station on Tuesday (Jan 14). He was required to attend an initial drugs assessment but failed to do so.

Magistrates imposed a new community order, running until June 14, 2027. The order includes up to ten days of rehabilitation activity, meaning Rowland must attend appointments and take part in activities as directed by probation.

He was also fined £120, to be paid at £24 per month from July 13.
