ASSAULT AND A THEFT ADMITTED
AN AMMANFORD man who
assaulted his then-partner and stole £450 from her appeared before the district judge in Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (Jan 5). Gary Patterson, 29, of Gwaun Cae
Gurwen, pleaded guilty to a charge of assault by beating, and changed his plea to one charge of theft to guilty. The court heard that Patterson, who
appeared via videolink from HMP Swansea after breaching the terms of his bail by texting his ex-partner, had been drinking on November 19 when the offences were committed. The complainant said that Patterson
had thrown her to the floor of the bedroom and put his hands around her throat. She had run out, but didn’t have her phone and had started to shout, but Patterson threw her to the floor again. She then tried to get out of the house,
and Patterson struck her with the door twice. The victim suffered numerous injuries, including cuts to her ear. On the same day, Patterson took £450 from a safe in the property. When speaking to the police about the
theft, Patterson originally claimed that he had only meant to take £250 which he had given the complainant on the understanding he was staying at her house over Christmas.
