The defendant pleaded guilty to both offences on October 1, and the case was adjourned for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.

Teal returned to Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on October 15 and was sentenced to four weeks, suspended for 12 months. As part of this, he must complete 25 rehabilitation activity requirement days.

The court heard that this sentence was uplifted from a community order to a suspended sentence due to the offences being against emergency workers and the defendant's previous convictions.

Teal was also ordered to pay £85 in costs and £50 in compensation.
