Ashley Cann, a notorious repeat offender, is back in the news with a string of convictions that have now put him behind bars. The 29-year-old cannabis dealer from Morriston is no stranger to the courts, having a record of 46 offences under his belt. This latest saga involved assault, harassment, and witness intimidation targeted at his former partner.

The drama unfolded when Cann faced Swansea Crown Court, where it was revealed he attempted to intimidate his ex into retracting an assault allegation. His aggressive behaviour included pushing, shoving, and hurling abuses like “rat” and “slag” while she tried to call for help. Even while out on bail, Cann was seen lurking outside his ex’s grandmother’s house, a gesture she found deeply intimidating. Adding fuel to the fire, Cann posted a cryptic Facebook message peppered with emojis, which his ex took as a threat.

In court, Cann’s past misdemeanours were laid bare, highlighting his long-standing troubles with the law, including previous charges for drug possession and malicious communication. Although he tried to downplay his actions by blaming others, the court wasn’t convinced.

Judge Walters, unimpressed with Cannโ€™s consistent harassment, sentenced him to 15 months in prison for his latest offences – including cannabis possession with intent to supply, assault, and witness intimidation. Cann will serve half of this time in custody, with a five-year restraining order now in place to protect his ex from further contact.

Cann’s ex-partner hopes he will address his anger issues for the sake of future relationships and potential victims. Meanwhile, the community remains vigilant against such nuisances, with supportive services readily available for victims of domestic violence.
