A CARMARTHEN man who breached a restraining order three times within a month has been jailed.
Gary Rees, aged 47, admitted approaching a woman on December 27 and was jailed for 20 weeks.
Judge Paul Thomas told Rees, of Llys Picton, it was time for him to grow up and act his age.
Ian Ibrahim, prosecuting, told Swansea Crown Court that in November Rees was convicted of battery previously against the woman.
Magistrates issued a restraining order banning Rees from contacting her.
But on December 8 he breached the order and was fined, and five days later he did it again and received a suspended prison sentence of eight weeks.
On December 27 he again went to her home.
Mr Ibrahim said the woman opened the door to put out some rubbish and was startled to find Rees standing there.
She knew he was drunk and told him to leave but he pushed his way in and sat on a settee.
She then called the police and Rees was arrested and held in custody.
Judge Thomas told Rees that court orders had to be abided by.
