## Summary

Marianne Hunter, 63, was fined after driving her van into a dog show ring in Pembrokeshire and racially abusing a judge who had barred one of her lurchers from competing in two categories. The incident, at the family event in Narberth, knocked over a participant and happened while children were nearby; the court heard her husband removed the van keys to prevent the situation worsening.

Hunter admitted racially aggravated intentional harassment and was found guilty of dangerous driving. She was fined £2,676 for dangerous driving and £1,115 for harassment, received a 12-month driving ban and must pass an extended driving test before driving again. She had travelled 270 miles from Kent to attend the show, which offered £100 prizes for champions.
