A Rhos-Y-Gwalia man will stand trial later this year after appearing in court to deny charges of assault, stalking and criminal damage.

Lee Evans, of Cefn y Meirch, appeared before Welshpool Magistrates’ Court on 21 March.

The 49-year-old pleaded not guilty to assaulting Trudy Langton in Welshpool on 19 March.

Evans also denied a charge of the stalking involving fear of violence of Trudy Langton between 19 February and 19 March, also in Welshpool.
