Two Fishguard men were arrested after a drugs deal went wrong and turned violent, a judge heard today.

Ryan Joshua, aged 22, armed himself with an extendable baton "for when things like this happen."

He was arrested along with Jac Phillips,19, and both admitted being concerned in the supply of cannabis between June 26 and July 14, 2014.

They also admitted possessing cannabis with intent to supply on July 14, 2014, and Joshua admitted possessing the baton in a public place.

John Hipkin, prosecuting, told Swansea crown court how a fight broke out in the car park of the Tesco store in Haverfordwest, on July 14, 2014.

PC Valerie Thomas arrived and saw a van with a broken window. The baton was found in the "click and collect" area of the store.

"A drugs deal had gone wrong," said Mr Hipkin.

A specially trained police dog was called in and it sniffed out three bags containing a total of 328 grams of herbal cannabis, with a street value of £3,800.

Joshua's fingerprints were found on one of the bags.

An examination of mobile telephones owned by Joshua and Phillips showed they had been dealing in the drug, added Mr Hipkin.

James Hartson, the barrister representing Joshua, a labourer, said he had had a daily usage of cannabis that he could not afford. But he had since reduced his habit.

Joshua, of Llys y Delyn, and Phillips, of Plas y Fron, were jailed for 15 months, suspended for two years.
