A former bus driver shouted at a judge while being sentenced for heavy flytipping off the M4. Despite avoiding jail Steven Brewis stormed out of Cardiff Magistrates' Court while his partner complained the hearing was a "joke".
Brewis, who lives in St Mellons, admitted two counts of unauthorised tipping in a field near Cardiff West services at Junction 33 of the M4. The dad-of-eight dumped furniture, chicken shop rubbish, garden waste, tyres and building materials which cost the landowner Persimmon £20,000 to remove.
The 36-year-old burst out in anger several times during Wednesday's hearing. He was due to be sentenced at 10am but delays in the case meant he had to wait until 4pm to enter the dock. He complained to District Judge Steve Harmes that he had been waiting "all day" and threatened he would not come back if the case was pushed to a later date.
