MARTIN LAWRENCE, 48, of Military Road, Pennar, Pembroke Dock, has been temporarily suspended from his position at Dyfed-Powys Police after admitting to assaulting his former partner. Additionally, Lawrence has pleaded guilty to two charges related to causing criminal damage during a dispute at a Tumble residence.
The court at Haverfordwest was informed that on February 26, the victim, whose identity remains protected, approached Dyfed-Powys Police and consulted a domestic abuse officer due to Lawrence’s behaviour. Crown Prosecutor Kelly Rivers stated, “She was deeply afraid of him.” Rivers detailed multiple instances where Lawrence verbally abused the victim, spat at her, and even hurled a crutch in her direction.
