An Aberystwyth man has been jailed for 16 weeks after appearing in court to admit breaching a community order.

Kyle Gareth Elston, of Flat 2, Penmaesglas Road, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 30 January.

The 28-year-old admitted breaching a community order made by Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 28 August for offences of possession of a 5.3 inch kitchen knife and assaulting a police officer in Aberystwyth on 28 July.

The court heard that Eslton failed to attend unpaid work appointments on 14 and 21 November, as well as failing to attend a planned probation office appointment on 26 November.

Magistrates, sentencing Elston to a total of 16 weeks in prison, said he had a “flagrant disregard for court orders.”
