A Lampeter man has been fined by magistrates after pleading guilty to assault.

Shane Griffiths, of 41 Bryn yr Eglwys, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 7 November.

The 19-year-old had initially denied assaulting Daniel Weston in Rhydyfelin on 1 June but changed his plea to guilty ahead of a planned trial.

Magistrates handed Griffiths a fine of £135.

He must also pay prosecution costs of £100 as well as a surcharge to fund victim services of £54.
