A Llandysul man who drove without a licence and insurance and obstructed a police officer on Boxing Day has been fined £900 by magistrates.

Geraint Davies, of Trewindsor, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 5 February.

The court heard that the 38-year-old was stopped while driving on Well Street in Llandysul on 26 December last year.

Checks showed that Davies did not have a licence or insurance.

Davies pleaded guilty to the charges and also a charge of obstructing Pc Cole on the same day.

Magistrates fined Davies £900 and handed him eight penalty points.

He was also handed a community order to include 120 hours of unpaid work.

He must also pay £85 costs and a £114 surcharge.
