A drunk who’d self-harmed then been aggressive towards police and shouted at staff in A and E at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd has been jailed for eight weeks.

Andrew Valentine, aged 46, of Dolphin Court, Rhos on Sea, admitted being drunk and disorderly and told magistrates at Llandudno: "I am very embarrassed”.

But he was under a suspended sentence and this was activated. A £120 fine was imposed, too.

Defence solicitor Chris Dawson said alcoholic Valentine had called police in a “cry for help” but his behaviour wasn’t good at the hospital.
