THE Pembroke Dock woman who set off the fire alarms and fire extinguishers at Withybush General Hospital during August has been sentenced.

Ashlie Large, of Wavell Crescent, appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates Court on Monday, October 19.

On September 7, Large had pleaded guilty to criminal damage to property valued up to £4,000. On August 24, she set off the alarms and extinguishers at the Haverfordwest hospital without lawful excuse.

The 30-year-old was ordered to pay compensation of £462, her guilty plea being taken into account.

She had also admitted further criminal damage to property on August 24 when she damaged a Dyfed Powys Police cell to the value of £90.

No compensation was required for this offence as there was no invoice; no separate penalty was imposed.

Also in court at Haverfordwest on October 19 was Danielle Simmons, age 35, of Maesgrug, Goodwick.

Simmons pleaded guilty to stealing £24.27 groceries from Tesco Express, Goodwick on March 26 and also pleaded guilty to the theft of £73.65 of groceries from Fishguard Co-op on May 18.

His guilty plea having been taken into account, Goodridge was conditionally discharged for six months. No compensation was ordered, as there was no loss or damage.
