A Monkton father, who breached a restraining order that protected the mother of his child, appeared before magistrates on Monday.
Richard Thomas O’Hare, aged 31, of Haven Court, Monkton, was arrested after he visited his ex-partner Cerys Evans on October 19.
The court heard that O’Hare was given a restraining order in February after he punched Miss Evans, and had decided he wanted to see his two-year-old son.
Prosecutor David Weale said that O’Hare arrived “steaming drunk” to Miss Evans’ house, and got in.
He said: “Miss Evans describes the look on Mr O’Hare’s face as evil, which frightened her.”
Alun Morgan, defending, said that the breach involved very minimal direct contact.
He said: “Mr O’Hare wanted to reinstate contact with his son, but he should have done it through a third party.”
O’Hare admitted breaching his restraining order and magistrates adjourned the case until November 24 He was released on bail and given a curfew from 7pm to 7am.
