Drug and drink-drivers amongst seven motorists in court
The seven defendants were accused of offences including drink and drug-driving, driving whilst disqualified, refusing a breathalyser test, and driving without a licence or insurance. Their cases were heard at Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court. Here's a round-up of the cases. DANIEL GILLARD, 32, of Brynheulog in Perthcelyn, Mountain Ash, was caught driving whilst disqualified. Gillard was behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Passatt on Sutton Street in Tenby on March 8. The court heard that he was disqualified from driving at the time, and this meant he also had no insurance. The defendant admitted both offences on the day of trial at Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court on May 22. Gillard was sentenced to a one-year community order, as part of which he must complete 50 hours of unpaid work. He must also pay £400 in costs, and was banned from driving for 18 months. KRZYSZTOF IWICKI, 53, of Cow Hey Close in Chester, has been banned for drink-driving in Tenby. Iwicki was alleged to have been driving a Mercedes-Benz at Kiln Park on June 29. When breathalysed, he recorded having 45 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35. Iwicki switched his plea to guilty on the day of trial, and was banned from driving for 12 months. He was also ordered to pay a £414 fine, £400 in costs and a £166 surcharge at Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court on May 22. MARCIN PRZYBYCIEN, 39, of Trebrython Farm Lane in Dwrbach, was caught driving on the A40 whilst under the influence of alcohol. Przybycien was driving a Kia Sportage on the A40 near The Corner Piece Inn on December 7. When tested, he recorded having 227 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of urine. The legal limit is 107. Przybycien pleaded guilty at Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court on May 27, and was disqualified from driving for 20 months. He was fined £300, and must pay £85 in costs and a £120 surcharge. PAUL MORRISSEY, 47, of no fixed abode, has admitted refusing to be breathalysed and driving without a licence or insurance. Morrissey was driving a BMW 3 Series on Main Street in Pembroke on April 20. It was alleged that he didn't have a licence or insurance at the time. He was also accused of failing to provide a specimen of breath for analysis when required by the police after officers suspected him of committing a driving offence. He pleaded guilty to each of the charges. The case came before Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court on May 27, and was adjourned until June 2 for sentence. Morrissey was granted bail until that date. PAWEL STASIAK, 46, of Little Road in London, was drunk whilst behind the wheel in Pembrokeshire. Stasiak was driving a Toyota RAV on the B4320 from Wallaston Green to the junction with the B4319 on May 9. He was breathalysed and recorded having 60 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath – almost double the legal limit. The officers discovered Stasiak had no licence or insurance. He pleaded guilty to all three charges at Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court on May 27. Stasiak was banned from driving for 20 months, and was ordered to pay a fine of £161, £85 in costs, and a £64 surcharge. JAMIE MARCUS POVEY, 26, of Tufton, has been banned from driving after getting behind the wheel drunk. Povey drove a Kia GT between Maenclochog and Llys-y-frân on May 10. When breathalysed, he recorded having 50 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. The defendant pleaded guilty, and was disqualified from driving for 14 months at Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court on May 27. Povey was fined £460, and must pay £85 in costs and a £184 surcharge. SARAH LEWIS MOANE, 35, of Three Meadows in Haverfordwest, has been found guilty of driving whilst under the influence of cocaine and cannabis. Moane was driving an Audi A4 in Houghton on March 22 last year. When tested, she recorded having 86 microgrammes of benzoylecgonine – the main metabolite of cocaine – per litre (µg/L) of blood and 2.4 µg/L of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. The legal limits – to exclude accidental exposure – are 50µg/L and 2µg/L respectively. Moane denied both offences in September last year, but was found guilty of both as they were proved in her absence at Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court on April 24. The case returned to court on May 27 for sentence, and Moane was banned from driving for three years. She must also pay a £180 fine and £650 in costs.
