Ashley Cann, 29, of Glantawe Street, Morriston, was caught with 130g of cannabis worth around £1,000 at his father’s home, along with drug-dealing paraphernalia including scales, snap-seal bags and £380 in cash.
After his arrest, Cann went to his ex-girlfriend’s home, shouting abuse and calling her a “rat” and a “slag” while pushing and shoving her. Despite being banned from contacting her, he continued to harass her — turning up at her grandmother’s house, phoning her with insults, and later posting a threatening message on Facebook.
In a statement read to Swansea Crown Court, the victim said she hoped Cann would finally get help for his anger issues, warning there would be “new victims” otherwise.
Judge Geraint Walters told Cann he had “a particular liking for harassing people” and had been before the courts “time and time again”.
Cann, who has 15 previous convictions for 46 offences, admitted possession of cannabis with intent to supply, assault, harassment, and witness intimidation. He was jailed for 15 months and handed a five-year restraining order preventing contact with his ex-partner.
