In court for careless driving, speeding and drug possession
The four defendants were accused of offences including drug possession, speeding, careless driving, and keeping an untaxed vehicle.
Their cases were heard at Llanelli Magistrates' Court.
Here's a round-up of the cases.
CALEB HEVEY, 21, of Margaret Street in Ammanford, was caught in possession of one gram of cocaine and a gram of herbal cannabis in Llandybie on February 15.
Hevey was further accused of obstructing a police officer in the execution of their duties on that same date.
It was also alleged that, having tested positive for cocaine, Hevey failed to show-up for an initial assessment on February 24 to establish whether he was dependent upon or had a propensity to misuse the Class A drug.
The defendant admitted all charges at Llanelli Magistrates' Court.
He was fined a total of £280, and must pay £85 in costs and a £112 surcharge.
Hevey also admitted two breaches of bail, after he failed to attend Llanelli Magistrates' Court on May 6 and April 11. He received no separate penalty for these breaches.
FRAZER SELVAGE, 42, of St Pauls Terrace in the Gorseinon area of Swansea, was clocked doing almost 100mph on the M4.
Selvage was driving a Ford Focus at 97mph at Pont Abraham on November 8.
He pleaded guilty, and was fined £369 at Llanelli Magistrates' Court.
Selvage had six points added to his licence, and must pay £110 in costs and a £148 surcharge.
CAROLINE BAYES, 42, of Heol Y Gelynen in Upper Brynamman, admitted careless driving after conducting an unsafe overtake of a cyclist.
Bayes was towing a horsebox with a Nissan Navara on the A483 from Llandybie towards the junction for Pentregwenlais on January 12.
She overtook a cyclist travelling in the same direction 'at an unsafe distance' and whilst a vehicle was approaching in the other direction.
The court heard that the defendant's standard of driving fell well below that of a reasonable and competent driver and that she was driving without due care and attention.
Bayes pleaded guilty, and was sentenced at Llanelli Magistrates' Court to an £80 fine, £110 in costs and a £32 surcharge.
She also had six points added to her licence.
MOIRA WILLIAMS, 45, of Heol Cae Ysgubor in Ammanford, was found guilty of keeping or using an untaxed car.
Williams was accused of using an unlicensed vehicle on Barry Road in Dinas Powys on November 20.
She pleaded not guilty, but was found guilty after the offence was proved in her absence at Llanelli Magistrates' Court.
Williams must pay a £220 fine, £140 in costs, and £42.50 in vehicle excise back duty.
