STEVEN BUTLER, 39, of Douglas James Way in Haverfordwest, has admitted sending offensive, indecent, obscene, or menacing messages.
Butler was accused of causing the messages to be sent to a woman between October 23 and 29 with the intent of causing her distress or anxiety.
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a 17-month community order, as part of which he must complete 200 hours of unpaid work and 25 rehabilitation activity requirement days.
He must also pay £85 in costs and a £114 surcharge, and his victim was granted an 18-month restraining order at Llanelli Magistrates' Court on May 16.
DAVID THOMAS, of Stanley Terrace in Gloucester, had been ordered to pay more than £1,000 after he was found guilty of refusing to identify a driver who committed an illegal overtake.
Llanelli Magistrates' Court heard that a Mercedes-Benz was driving along the A40 near the Llanboidy/Whitland roundabout at just after midday on January 31.
The driver was alleged to have crossed the solid white central line and overtaken four other vehicles.
Thomas was found guilty of an offence of failing to give information relating to the identification of a driver when required after it was proved in his absence on May 14.
