Evan Williams Sentenced to Three Years in Prison for Assaulting Dog Walker

Evan Williams, a 55-year-old horse trainer, has been sentenced to three years in prison for attacking a 72-year-old dog walker on his property. The incident, which occurred on December 4, 2024, in Llancarfan, Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales, left the victim, Martin Dandridge, with serious injuries, including a fractured arm. Williams, who denied the charges, was found guilty by a unanimous jury after a trial at Cardiff Crown Court. During the sentencing, the judge, Recorder Angharad Price, condemned Williams' actions, stating that he had made a choice to confront the victim instead of waiting for the police to arrive. The judge also referenced a previous incident where Williams had been threatened by poachers on his land, but emphasized that it was never acceptable to take the law into one's own hands. Williams, a renowned horse trainer with multiple Grade One wins, will now serve a three-year prison sentence for his actions.
