A Templeton pensioner is back behind bars again for making nuisance 999 calls to the emergency services.

Seventy-three-year-old Ann Gateley, of Princes Gate, appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court last Wednesday (November 13) to plead guilty to a charge of persistently making use of a public electronic communications network for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another on November 12.

Mrs. Gateley was most recently jailed back in September after admitting another charge of misusing the 999 system between when she made seven 999 calls and one call using the 101 system whilst intoxicated.

She was again committed to prison for 20 weeks, with magistrates deeming the offence so serious because it was committed whilst Mrs. Gateley was subject to prison release licence, and aggravated by the defendant’s record of previous offending.

She was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £122.
