Newtown man fined after admitting Aberystwyth assault

Leon Barrie, 50, of Heol y Coleg, Newtown, appeared before Aberystwyth Justice Centre on September 2, where he pleaded guilty to assault by beating.

The court heard the offence took place in Aberystwyth on February 11 this year, when Barrie assaulted Anthony Calvert.

Magistrates fined him £120, with the guilty plea taken into account when sentencing.

The court was told a victim personal statement from Mr Calvert had been read by the prosecutor.

However, no compensation order was made.

Court records state the reason was that there were "insufficient details provided by the prosecutor for the court to make a compensation order" and that the court had not seen any evidence of injuries.

Barrie was also ordered to pay £85 in prosecution costs.
