A Lampeter man has been given a conditional discharge by magistrates for using threatening behaviour in Aberystwyth.

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

The 40-year-old had initially denied using threatening behaviour towards Daniel Weston on Penglais Hill on 1 June this year but changed his plea to guilty ahead of a planned trial.

Magistrates handed Griffiths a 12 month conditional discharge.

He must also pay £85 costs and a £26 surcharge.
