BELOW is a round-up of all of the criminals whose prison sentencings were covered by the Free Press, Journal, Pioneer or Chronicle in June.
Lee Ure
Ure, 40, of Glyn Y Marl Road, Llandudno Junction, stabbed a person with a fork and assaulted him in an attempt to take heroin from him.
Things became “heated” when his victim told Ure and his friend that he was keeping a small bag of heroin for himself.
Andrew Blake
Blake, 52, of Parc Pentywyn, Deganwy, was jailed after subjecting a female to numerous sexual assaults in the 1980s and 1990s.
His sexual assaults started when his victim was a child, and he was a teenager.
Marcus Rahilly
Rahilly, 51, of Green Terrace, Trefor, started a fire at his own home.
Neighbouring properties had to be evacuated, while Rahilly was also said to have been abusive to police officers who attended.
Robert Price
Price, 36, of Anglesey, twice raped a girl before acting “completely normally” and as if “nothing untoward had happened” afterwards.
His victim said she was “happy and enjoying life” prior to these offences, but feels “sickened” by what Price did to her.
Dewi Evans
Evans, 57, of Llawr Y Dref, Llangefni, waved a machete in front of a doorman at a pub on Anglesey.
He told the doorman: “Tell that bald c*** to meet me round the corner”.
Steven Halliday
Halliday, 45, of Shaw, Oldham, assaulted his ex-partner on seven separate occasions, including in Rhyl and Anglesey.
During the relationship, Halliday contacted her constantly, became jealous of any contact she had through her job with other males, called her names, and physically assaulted her.
Andrew Manning
Manning, 45, of Southwood Road, Liverpool, was found with more than 50 “street deals” of crack cocaine up his bottom in Rhyl.
When police then searched Manning’s home in Liverpool, a quantity of amphetamine was also seized.
James Prendergast
Prendergast, 38, of Eden Avenue, Prestatyn, breached a restraining order prohibiting him from contacting his ex-partner on four occasions.
On March 26, he made 12 unanswered phone calls to her.
Michael Shield
Shield, 35, of no fixed abode, handed himself in to police in Rhyl after he “had enough” of dealing drugs.
He was not wanted by police at the time.
Daniel Davies
Davies, 40, of South Parade, Abergele, slashed his father’s forearm with a folding lock knife.
It caused his father to sustain a “gaping wound”.
Gordon Watts
Watts, 35, of East Parade, Rhyl, threatened to disclose sexual imagery of one woman, and repeatedly assaulted another and her dog.
One of the women said that being assaulted by Watts “felt like my head had been run over by a bus” and that the incident left her “psychologically drained”.
Sam Stopforth
Stopforth, 32, of Norman Drive, Rhyl, was found to have more than £27,000 worth of drugs in his bedroom.
Judge Rhys Rowlands told him: “You’d have known the risks you were running by involving yourself in the supply of drugs on this scale. It wasn’t a one-off.”
