A Saundersfoot man was fined by magistrates this week after a domestic related incident outside the village's Sands nightclub.
Thirty-year-old Michael Andrew Cornick had been at the club with his wife on January 11 when there was "some disagreement between the two" towards the end of the evening, which resulted in Mrs. Cornick being arrested by police, the court sitting in Tenby heard on Tuesday.
The defendant took "great exception" to his wife being placed in the back of the police vehicle and told the arresting officers that they were "out of order and should let their prisoner go," said crown prosecutor, Mr. Tim Roberts.
Although Cornick, of 72 Incline Way, was told by the officers that this was not going to happen, he continued to shout and swear.
He became increasingly aggressive, despite a friend of his intervening, and in events that followed, one of the officers, PC Colley, felt that Cornick's behaviour was "threatening" and he felt that immediate unlawful violence was going to be used towards him.
"He was under the influence of alcohol and perhaps this explains his attitude and failure to listen to sensible advice," Mr. Roberts added.
For the defence, Miss Catrin Phillips told the court that her client was very upset that his wife had been arrested as she had not been in any trouble before.
He agreed he had shouted and swore, but Cornick did not intend his behaviour to be threatening, although he accepted the police may have felt his behaviour was of such a manner.
On behalf of her client, Miss Phillips apologised to the police and said that he was anxious to put this sorry matter behind him.
Cornick, who admitted an offence of threatening behaviour with intent to cause fear of immediate unlawful violence, was fined £250 and ordered to pay £55 costs.
