A POWYS man will be sentenced later this month, after he admitted breaching a stalking protection order in relation to a former partner.
Robert Gethin, who was handed a suspended prison sentence by magistrates in Welshpool in April, admitted one offence of breaching the stalking protection order when he appeared at Welshpool on Monday, October 5.
Gethin, of Plas Trannon, Trefeglwys , admitted the breach, which occurred on August 8. The offence states he stopped his vehicle on an unnamed road that accesses an address where his former partner lives, near Caersws.
Two other breaches of the order, alleged to have been committed on August 3 and 10, were dismissed with no evidence offered by the Crown Prosecution Service, after Gethin, 64, denied those charges.

Magistrates had handed Gethin a 36-week prison sentence in April, suspended for 24 months.
They handed him a stalking protection order on that occasion, and he was then handed another at Mold Crown Court in July.
Gethin had previously appeared at court in August, via custody, and denied all three offences.
On Monday he was further remanded into custody until his sentencing hearing.
The Probation Service is to provide the court with a progress report in relation to the existing suspended prison sentence ahead of sentencing, which will take place on October 20 at Welshpool Magistrates’ Court.
