A MAN has been jailed after pleading guilty to committing three offences in Abergele, including breaching his non-molestation order.

Richard Cross, 40, of Kendal Close, Bebington, was accused of the following in Abergele on July 18:

  • Being within 50 metres of a property which he was aware that Danielle Potter lived at, breaching the order made by Birkenhead Family Court on March 15.
  • Driving a silver Vauxhall Astra vehicle while disqualified.
  • Driving a silver Vauxhall Astra vehicle without third party insurance.

He pleaded guilty to all three offences at Llandudno Magistrates’ Court on September 9.

Cross was handed a 14-week concurrent prison sentence.

This was due to the seriousness of his harassment and a “blatant breach of disqualification”.

The court also ordered him to pay costs to the Crown Prosecution Service of £190, and a £154 victim surcharge.

He is to pay this total of £344 in weekly instalments of £6 from October 7.

Further offences, of assaulting Potter and of taking the aforementioned vehicle without the owner’s consent in Abergele on July 18, were dismissed after no evidence was offered.
