A HAVERFORDWEST woman,
who admitted to supplying cannabis in court this week, will appear before Swansea Crown Court for a hearing on March 10. Anna James-Thomas, aged 28, of
Dew Street pleaded guilty to being in possession of 50.79g of cannabis with the intent to supply it at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (Feb 7). The court heard that £1,500 in
cash was found at the defendant’s property, along with ‘skunk’ in several containers, and mobile phones. It appeared that James-Thomas
was in debt and she was commercially supplying the cannabis. Jonathan Webb, defending, said
that she would not have supplied all of the cannabis as she smokes around 7g of it a day herself. He added that some of the cash
found by the police at the defendant’s property was money borrowed from her mother. However, he stated that less than half of the cash would have been ‘drug money’. Mr Webb stated that James-
Thomas was in difficulty both financially and mentally at the time. Magistrates declined jurisdiction
of the case and James-Thomas will appear before Swansea Crown Court for her trial on March 10. She was released on unconditional bail until that date.
A DRUNK insulted and then
assaulted a man because he wore a crucifix, a judge heard last week. Joe Philip Herring, aged 19, of
Curlew Close, Haverfordwest, head butted Kristian Ewers and then insisted on shaking his hand. And when a police officer arrested him he struggled free and ran away. Herring admitted racially
aggravated assault and escaping from lawful custody. He was jailed for 24 weeks, suspended for 12 months, and ordered to complete 160 hours of unpaid work and to pay Mr Ewers £200 in compensation. Brian Simpson, prosecuting,
told Swansea Crown Court how CCTV cameras filmed Herring as he approached Mr Ewers near Eddies nightclub. Herring mocked him and as Mr Ewers tried to push him away he head
butted his nose. Afterwards, he told Mr Ewers:
“Fair play, you took that like a man. It usually knocks them out." A police sergeant standing nearby
was alerted and arrested Herring. But before he could handcuff him he struggled free and ran down Quay Street. Herring was identified by the
CCTV footage and later arrested for a second time. He told police he had been so
drunk he could not remember being in Haverfordwest let alone assaulting anyone. Judge Paul Thomas told Herring
that both offences were serious enough to warrant a jail sentence. “These sort of offences will not be
tolerated. Police officers have a difficult enough job to do without drunken idiots like you wandering about,” he added.
Drink driver three times over limit OVER three times the legal
alcohol limit, a Milford Haven man was caught driving after he thought he’d left his phone at the pub, Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court heard on Tuesday (Feb 7). Ian John Thomas, 53, of Hilton
Avenue, pleaded guilty to driving while having 113mcg of alcohol in 100ml of his breath, exceeding the prescribed limit of 35mcg. Prosecuting, Sian Vaughan said
that police on patrol at 11:15pm on January 22 observed a Nissan turning into Coombs Drive and mounting a grass verge. Thomas, the driver of the car, then
swerved side to side on the road and failed another turn. He nearly hit a parked car, causing police to turn on their lights. As the police did this, Thomas
reversed back and came within inches of hitting the officers’ car. When the officers spoke to
Thomas, the could smell alcohol on his breath and a road side breathalyser test proved positive. Defending, Mike Kelleher said

Victoria Road: Prime for regeneration PEMBROKESHIRE COUNTY
COUNCIL will receive a loan of £1 million from the Welsh Government as part of a fund to help bring empty, underused sites and premises in town centres back into use Pembrokeshire is one of 12 areas
of Wales to benefit from the Vibrant and Viable Places Town Centre Loans Fund, Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children Carl Sargeant announced. Pembrokeshire will use the loan
towards the redevelopment of the former Victoria Filling Station in Milford Haven and Grade II listed Quay Stores into a cultural centre. Proposed activities are subject to ongoing development within the Local Authorities.
Communities and Children
that this was a ‘very stupid and ill informed decision’ from Thomas. He explained that the defendant
got home from the pub and fell asleep. Thomas suddenly woke up and realised that he had left his mobile phone at the pub.
As his phone was full of work
contacts, he saw this as ‘something of an emergency’ and drove. Julie Norman of the prosecution
service added that Thomas’ wife was unable to drive either as she had been drinking too. However, she added that the pub
was in walking distance and stated that the defendant could have called to ask the pub owner to put the phone behind the bar. Ms Norman informed the
magistrates that Thomas has had the same employer for 13 years and it was likely that he would be able to keep his job despite losing his licence. Magistrates disqualified Thomas
from driving for three years and fined him £585. He will also have to pay £85 in prosecution costs and a £58.50 victim surcharge.
Secretary, Carl Sargeant said: “This funding will help Local Authorities regenerate their town centres by helping them find sustainable uses for empty sites and premises such
as affordable town centre homes or tourist and leisure attractions. “As well as making town centres
more attractive places to live this loan scheme will help encourage investment into these areas as well as support the local economy.” One of the projects planned to
help with the regeneration of Milford Haven is the proposed drive-thru Costa Coffee near the Docks, which is being spearheaded by the Port of Milford Haven. The new Costa Coffee could see
the creation of nine new jobs in the area. If the plans for the coffee chain to
set up shop in its new Milford Haven location are approved, it is hoped that work would start on the site this year. The application to develop a Costa
Coffee Drive-Thru adjacent to the Quay Stores building is a key stage in the wider development. This is a 100% privately financed commercial deal, and is the first such deal in
Milford Waterfront’s projected £70 million redevelopment programme. Positive discussions with other interested parties are also underway and it is an encouraging sign that the development is gathering momentum. No monies used on the
development will come from the £1.25m loan the Port Authority secured for town centre regeneration from the County Council, which is intended to be used to develop the Old Quay Stores as private rented accommodation. Neil Jenkins, Destination Director
at the Port of Milford Haven, said: “This is a key stage in the ongoing redevelopment of the Marina and Docks and an exciting next step in the Port’s plans for the new Milford Waterfront destination. The new coffee shop will create nine new jobs and we welcome Costa’s vote of confidence in Milford Haven, proving its ability to attract high quality investment from national companies.”
