Man threatened his former partner

A man who threatened his former partner and jumped on her car bonnet in a frightening confrontation has been jailed for 22 months.

Daniel Davies, 40, of Spring Valley Lakes, Resolven, repeatedly contacted the woman despite being banned from doing so under a restraining order imposed in March.

Between September 7 and 8, Davies called her and left text messages and voicemails, many containing threats.

The ordeal escalated on September 8 when Davies was seen outside her home. As she drove past, he sounded his horn and followed her erratically.

Davies overtook her on a narrow lane before stopping in front of her and blocking her path. He then got out, shouted threats, struck her side window and jumped on the bonnet, trying to smash the windscreen.

The woman managed to reverse away and reported what had happened to Dyfed-Powys Police.

Davies was arrested on September 14 and charged the following day. He admitted breaching the restraining order and dangerous driving in Ammanford.

On October 22, Swansea Crown Court jailed him for 22 months.

Davies had previously been jailed for 42 weeks after being found guilty of a serious, unprovoked assault against a woman.
