A FORMER St Dogmaels man has been jailed for five-and-a-half years for assaulting a security guard at a charity event in New Quay and leaving him permanently disfigured.
Philip Nicholas Ladd, aged 38, was found guilty of assault causing grievous bodily harm after biting off a large section of a man’s ear in March 2019.
The court heard that the incident had happened while Ladd was living at an address at Ffos-y-Ffin, near Aberaeron.
Dyfed-Powys Police were called to New Quay Football Club following the incident, which saw the 38-year-old react violently when he was stopped from going back inside the venue by a security guard.
