A Powys man who admitted attacking two men and threatening one of them with a knife is to be sentenced by a crown court judge next month.

Simon Drewry, 47, assaulted Jamie Jones‑Naylor and Michael Evans in Rhayader on Thursday, March 26.

He also threatened Mr Evans with a folding knife at his home “in such a way that there was an immediate risk of serious physical harm to that person”.

The following day, on March 27, Drewry caused £396 worth of damage at Newtown Police Station after biting and chewing a cell mattress. He also damaged the cell floor by spitting and urinating “multiple times” over the door and floor.

Drewry, of no fixed abode, appeared at Mold Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, March 28, where he pleaded guilty to five offences.

Magistrates committed the case to Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court for sentencing on Tuesday, April 21. Drewry was remanded in custody until his next appearance.
