A man has today (Friday) admitted possessing £5,000 worth of heroin in Narberth and later taking a large knife into Haverfordwest magistrates’ court.
Ian Cheshire, aged 48, of Gwilliam Court, Monkton, appeared before Judge Paul Thomas at Swansea crown court for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
Cheshire, who appeared over a video link with Swansea prison, admitted possessing a bladed article at the court on April 30 this year.
He had been arrested after police found he had 48 grams of heroin in Narberth with a street value of £5,000 on January 29 last year.
Cheshire admitted possessing the drug but denied a more serious charge of possessing the drug with intent to supply.
A trial will begin on August 22.
Cheshire was further remanded in custody following today’s hearing.
