A 26-YEAR-OLD man from Milford Haven appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Monday (Feb 18) to face two charges of being in possession of knives in a public place.
Benjamin Liam Alan Hilton of Robert Street, pleaded not guilty to the charges, and a trial therefore took place.
The court heard that Hilton was alleged to have been drinking in the Astoria on the night in question.
The complainant, claimed that Hilton had asked her for money back from a previous night, where he paid for her drinks all night. She told the court that he wanted his money back because she didn’t pay him back by giving him sex at the end of the night.
Hilton had been thrown out by bouncers at the Astoria and was followed home by a male and female.
They claimed that Hilton had gone into his house, and came out onto the street with two kitchen knives.
Following evidence from the female and mitigation from the defendant, the magistrates found Hamilton not guilty of the offence and he was cleared of all charges.
