Llandudno...Prison for who strangled and assaulted woman at Caernarfon campsite

Well at least this long-standing notorious Llandudno resident is now in jail, but the signs may have been there long before this incident, see below!

A MAN from Llandudno has been jailed after pleading guilty to assaulting and strangling a woman at a campsite in Caernarfon.

Lee Sumner, 44, of Chapel Street, was accused of assaulting Samantha Turner by beating her, and of intentionally strangling her, at Riverside Camping on August 22.

He changed his pleas to guilty for both offenses on August 31.

At sentencing at Llandudno Magistrates’ Court on October 5, Sumner was sentenced to 52 weeks.

The court refrained from imposing costs on him

But was this also him? 

'Brain dead' drink driver reached speeds of more than 100mph while trying to escape police

A drunk driver who sped away from police lost control and the vehicle ended up on its roof.

Lee Joseph Sumner was assisted from the Mazda vehicle by police officers after the three-and-a-half mile journey between Abergele and Llanddulas and taken to the hospital.

A blood test showed he was just over the drink-drive limit a judge at Caernarfon Crown Court heard.

The 41-year-old, of Rosebery Avenue, Llandudno, was seen by a police officer emerging from a side road at Abergele in the early hours of June 20 last year and narrowly missing another vehicle.

Signaled to stop, Sumner drove away through Abergele at speeds of up to 60mph.

Heading towards Llanddulas, he switched off the headlights and reached more than 100mph speeds.

Entering Llanddulas he lost control of the vehicle and it overturned.

Police found Sumner slumped and unconscious and was helped them out of the vehicle.

He regained consciousness and officers realized they could smell alcohol on his breath.

Interviewed later, he described himself as "brain dead" and hadn't stopped because he realized he was over the drink-drive limit.

He admitted charges of dangerous driving, drunk driving, and failing to stop.


 Defense counsel Sion ap Mihangel said he had panicked when signaled to stop.

"He reacted in a wholly inappropriate way for a relatively short period of driving. It was through good fortune no one else was injured.

"He has shown genuine remorse and regret," he said.

The court heard Sumner had five previous convictions for drunk driving and had a similar conviction for dangerous driving in 2007.

Judge Huw Rees said: "It doesn't need me to tell you you could have killed yourself or someone else. With your record, you should have realized the game was up and stopped."

Sumner was jailed for 12 months and banned from driving for 42 months. He must take an extended retest at the end of the ban.
