A New Quay man has been banned from the road for 18 months after pleading guilty to failing to provide a blood specimen to police.

Adam Zamorowski, of 12 Morfa Gwyn Flats, appeared for sentencing at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on 29 January.

The 46-year-old had initially pleaded not guilty at a hearing in October to failing to provide a specimen of blood in New Quay on 16 August last year.

He changed his plea to guilty ahead of a planned trial.

He also admitted possession of 1.7g of amphetamine at Llanarth on 11 May.

Magistrates disqualified Zamorowski from driving for 18 months and handed him a community order to include 150 hours of unpaid work and up to 10 rehabilitation activity days.
