A Pembroke Dock man is to stand trial accused of damaging a door by spraying it with fake snow.

Dean Phillips, aged 26, is charged with causing criminal damage at the home of Colwyn Probert two days after last Christmas.

Phillips, of Kavanagh Court, appeared at Swansea Crown Court on Friday for a plea and case management hearing.

He denied the damage charge, and one of assaulting Mr. Probert on the same occasion, causing him actual bodily harm.

Phillips also denies a charge of possessing an offensive weapon in Heywood Court, Tenby - a set of horse riding stirrups.

Nicola Powell, prosecuting, said the alleged offences occurred after an incident at the Three Mariners pub in Tenby.

Geraint Walters, the barrister representing Phillips, said he understood the fake snow was something that children might use and ‘afterwards it gets wiped off.’

Phillips was granted bail until a two day trial, listed to begin on September 30.
