A Pencader man will stand trial in March charged with assaulting a police officer.

Robert Rees, of 106 Maescader, had pleaded not guilty to assaulting a police officer in Pencader on 23 August when he appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court earlier this year.

At a hearing on 18 December, magistrates set a trial date for Rees of 3 March.

He was remanded on unconditional bail until that date.
