Each month, the Daily Post pulls together its files to name and shame the criminals locked up for offences committed in and around North Wales.
Every one of the people named here has appeared in court.
In some of the cases, trials have been held and jurors have deliberated over the evidence.
A judge has decided their crimes are so serious only a custodial sentence will suffice.
Dean Graham
A drugs courier who ferried heroin and crack cocaine from Merseyside into North Wales has been jailed.
Dean Graham, 22, built up a drugs debt and agreed to ferry the drugs to pay it off, Mold Crown Court heard.
Graham was a passenger in a black BMW 3 series which police were monitoring.
An officer spotted it outside the address of known drug addicts in Old Colwyn in June and back up was called.
The car was seen at a petrol filling station in Abergele Road and police moved in to block off the exits.
When a police car pulled up in front of the car as the driver was paying for fuel, Graham who was in the passenger seat tried to make a run for it, explained prosecuting barrister Karl Scholz.
But he was chased and taken to the ground.
Graham of Foundry Lane in Widnes, was jailed for 27 months.
Reginald Roach
Police were left with a £300 clean-up bill after a prisoner pleasured himself in a cell and defecated in a police station shower.
Reginald Roach had been arrested on November 16 over another offence and was in custody at Caernafon Police Station.
While being held, he defecated in the shower in the custody suite, forcing the police to have to bring in professional cleaners.
He also pleasured himself in a cell, meaning cleaners had to be brought in again, and urinated in one during the time he was being held at Llandudno Magistrates Court.
In total, the bill for cleaning up after him ran to more than £310.
Roach, of Market Street in Holyhead , had denied a charge of spitting at a custody officer, but changed his plea just before he was due up before magistrates in Caernarfon.
The court heard Roach was also in breach of a conditional discharge imposed last March following an incident in Holyhead, when he was seen to approach the Labour party offices in Thomas Street with a tin of white paint which he threw at the building.
He was handed a four week jail term for this incident to be served concurrently with the 20 week sentence he was given for the damage to the cells and spitting at the custody officer.
Stuart Carless
A husband who put a tracker under his wife’s car to monitor her movements was caught after she spotted that he’d bought it using their joint bank account, a court heard .
Stuart Carless subjected his wife Victoria to a two-month stalking ordeal after they split up and she moved out of their Prestatyn home last year, Mold Crown Court heard.
The 46-year-old bombarded her with social media messages and phone calls, which were sometimes anonymous.
He would also turn up at her house and follow her when she went out, and she would find herself locked out of her emails.
Carless downloaded an app to keep track of his wife’s car but, when that failed, he placed a tracker underneath to monitor her movements, said prosecutor Simon Rogers.
But she spotted he’d bought it through a joint bank account and found it underneath her vehicle, the court heard.
Mrs Carless eventually called the police and her husband was remanded in custody, but he still sent her a letter after he was released on bail, breaking his conditions.
Carless, of Highbury Crescent, Prestatyn, who works for Clwyd Alyn Housing, pleaded guilty to stalking his wife between October 16 and December 14, 2018. He was jailed for 14 months.
Christopher Rigg, Wayne Sudbury and Artur Jaku-Graham
Three members of a drugs gang who attempted to smuggle £3m of drugs through North Wales to Ireland have been jailed .
The gang were snared after they packed a lorry with drugs at an industrial estate in Queensferry in Flintshire before attempting to smuggle them to Ireland.
The lorry was stopped at Holyhead in Anglesey as its driver attempted to board a ferry to Dublin.
Christopher Rigg, aged 52, of no fixed address, Wayne Sudbury, aged 40, from Crosby in Merseyside, and Artur Jaku-Graham, aged 32, of no fixed address, were jailed for 10 years nine months, 10 years eight months, and six years respectively at Liverpool Crown Court.
All three had pleaded guilty to drugs offences at an earlier hearing.
The gang were found with 30 kilograms of cocaine, 45 kilograms of cannabis, 15 kilograms of MDMA and two kilograms of ketamine following an investigation by the joint National Crime Agency and Metropolitan Police’s Organised Crime Partnership (OCP).
Adrian Reginald Crofts
A window cleaner who dealt in cocaine has been jailed for a total of three years and 10 months .
Defendant Adrian Reginald Crofts was found in possession of cocaine when police executed a search warrant at his home in Bryn Mawr Road, Holywell , back in October, 2017.
Judge Rhys Rowlands, who said the delays in the case were unacceptable, was told Crofts was a window cleaner who rarely used banks and he claimed £3,000 in cash found by police in his bedroom was from his income.
But inquiries showed he had declared £43,000 to Revenue and Customs from the window cleaning business.
Crofts admitted possessing cocaine with intent to supply at an earlier occasion and today he changed his pleas and admitted being concerned in the supply of both cocaine and cannabis between July and October 2017, based on text messages found on his mobile phone - for which he was due to go on trial in April.
He also admitted possessing the £3,000 as criminal property.
Shane Roberts
A homeless man activated a 90-day suspended jail term after stealing £17.50 worth of cheese strings .
Shane Roberts, 22, who had been living in a Travelodge at Holyhead, received an extra seven days on top of the sentence for the theft at Llangefni on December 19, after ignoring a ban on him entering Asda stores.
Prosecutor Diane Williams at Llandudno Magistrates Court said he had received the suspended sentence nine days earlier.
Bethan Williams, defending, said Roberts had mental health difficulties and had been homeless, hungry and without money.
Sam Nicholas Allan
High on drink and drugs he was bare-chested, despite the cold, and was behaving in a bizarre manner.
He put a cable around his neck at one stage and then took his trousers off, set them alight and waved them about and shouted aggressively “watch what happens now.”
A police negotiator was called in.
But Allan went into the premises through the hole he had made in the roof of G and R Newsagents and struggled with police who forced their way in and arrested him.
At Mold Crown Court Allan, 30, of no fixed abode but formerly of Bron y Wern, Bagillt - who had a previous robbery conviction which he’d received three years for in 2014 - was jailed for 18 months.
Sean Ryan and Steven Cowell
Two North Wales lieutenants of a major North West drugs gang have been jailed for more than 11 years .
The organised crime group used powerful weapons to intimidate rivals and force customers to settle drug debts.
They also loaned out the weapons - including an AK automatic rifle, to other drugs gangs.
When police found the weapons hidden in a house in Orford in Cheshire, it was the biggest haul they’d ever unearthed.
As well as the automatic rifle, they found revolvers, self-loading pistols, a silencer and over 100 bullets.
Sean Ryan, from Rhyl , was jailed for his part in the gang, which supplied drugs across Merseyside, Cheshire and North Wales.
The 32-year-old, of Aquarium Street, was handed five years and two months.
He was one of eight of the 20-strong gang who stood trial. He was found guilty of conspiracy to possess ammunition. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and producing Class B drugs.
Steven Cowell, 31, of Maes Isalaw, Bangor , was given six years and eight months, having pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply class A drugs.
Eleven other members of the gang pleaded guilty, and on Friday at Liverpool crown court they were handed 185 years in jail.
Raymond Owen
Wales’ ‘worst 999 pest’ has been jailed again.
Raymond Owen admitted breaching a criminal behaviour order by phoning for an ambulance six times in two days and has been locked up for 20 weeks .
The 83-year-old former railway electrician is alleged to have cost the emergency services up to £28,000 and the prosecutor at Llandudno Magistrates Court said “his behaviour isn’t improving”.
The court heard that when serving a 146-day sentence he was given back in October, he had fallen out of his prison bunk and damaged his back further.
On Thursday last week, he saw a consultant at Ysbyty Gwynedd and complained about chronic back pain.
But, prosecutor James Neary said, he showed no apparent signs of discomfort when he walked with a frame to the toilet.
Since 2017, he’d been to the emergency unit 23 times and there had been no need for any treatment.
Because of how many calls he had made, the ambulance service no longer automatically sent paramedics out to him. And he tended to become verbally abusive on the phone.
Police had previously been to his Caernarfon Road, Bangor , home and put on his wall large sheets with numbers he should call for help. Some had been put into his phone on speed-dial.
But he continued to call the ambulance service regularly.
Paul Baumanis
A man described by police as a “professional paedophile” has been jailed after being found in possession of thousands of indecent images of children .
Paul Baumanis, of High Street, Saltney , Flintshire , was jailed for 16 months after admitting making nearly 80,000 indecent images of children.
He pleaded guilty to four counts of making indecent images/videos of children and one count of possessing extreme pornographic images involving animals at Chester Magistrates’ Court on December, 21 last year.
The case against Baumanis began when Cheshire police became aware that he was registered on a social media site that had previously been used to share child sexual exploitation material.
After looking into the intelligence received, officers executed a warrant at Baumanis’ previous home in Western Avenue, Blacon, Chester, on June 1, 2018.
They arrested him on suspicion of making, possessing and sharing indecent images of children and seized his internet enabled devices and computer hardware.
Adam Lewis and Lee Jones
Two joyriders who drove the wrong way down residential streets and reached speeds of up to 90mph evading police pursuit vehicles have been jailed .
Adam Lewis, 18, was driving the stolen Jaguar, with 31-year-old Lee Jones along for the ride.
At least four police vehicles became were involved in the chase through Wrexham and two of them were put out of action by the force's own stinger devices deployed to try to stop the suspects.
The car was seen on Llay New Road driving the wrong way up the carriageway. Going towards Cefn y Bedd they hit 80mph in a 50mph zone. Later they hit speeds of 90mph.
Lewis, of no fixed abode, had convictions for 22 previous offences. He was jailed for 12 months and banned from driving for two years after admitting aggravated vehicle taking and dangerous driving.
Jones, of Meadway Close, Gwersyllt , Wrexham, had convictions for 78 previous offences, was jailed for six months and banned from driving for 15 months after admitting aggravated vehicle taking.
James Longden
A bungling burglar broke into his neighbour's house and ended up selling the nicked items back to him on eBay .
James Longden of Oaklea Court, Rhyl , was caught out after the victim recognised his belongings and placed a winning bid on his own watch.
A meeting was then arranged between the buyer and 30-year-old Longden, who was living at Water Tower View in Chester when he committed the offence in November last year.
But the victim informed the police of the arranged meeting at Chester railway station on December 4 where officers turned up to arrest him.
A warrant was executed at Longden's then home in Chester where most of the remaining stolen items were recovered.
Longden pleaded guilty and was sentenced to to two years and four months in prison at Chester Crown Court.
He admitted stealing a laptop, jewellery and clothing from his neighbour's home while he was at work.
Matthew Hatfield
A web pervert “obsessed” with indecent images of children had pictures of youngsters whose faces had been covered using Harry Potter film characters, a court heard .
Matthew Hatfield, 40, of Bryn-y-Baal, Mold , was jailed for a year after he admitted breaching a sexual harm prevention order by deleting his internet browsing history on a laptop, possessing extreme porn and prohibited images of a child.
A 50-week suspended sentence was also activated and he must register as a sex offender for 10 years.
Imposing the 102-week term at Mold, district judge Gwyn Jones told Hatfield, who has Asperger’s: "What the report from the probation team indicates is you still don’t take on board the seriousness of the offences."
The offences had occurred when he was in his bedroom, and Judge Jones said there were images of children aged between four and eight.
Some of the images had a superimposed speech bubble containing extremely explicit sexual comments.
Glyn Owen Holmes
A man found guilty of assaulting and controlling his girlfriend has been sent to jail .
Glyn Owen Holmes was told he was not going to get another chance after being found guilty of a charge of controlling or coercive behaviour by magistrates.
The 35-year-old, of South Parade, Llandudno, was also found guilty of assaulting his ex-partner Zoe Roberts on two occasions in June last year.
He admitted a charge of obstructing the police when officers spoke with him in Llandudno in November.
Jailing him for a total of 18 months, Judge Huw Rees said: "You've been the subject of community orders on no less than four occasions. You're not having another."
Kathy Hughes
A woman who broke a court order banning her from going to a vulnerable elderly man’s home has been locked up.
Kathy Hughes had been told in November she was not allowed to go to the house belonging to the man in is 80s, after people raised concerns she was turning up at his house.
The pensioner, who suffered from memory loss, had told people he had given Hughes money several times.
When Hughes was interviewed by police, she described the old man as a nice bloke and said that he had shown her some kindness.
She claimed that there had been a local campaign against her on Facebook.
At the weekend she had been seen at the old man’s home again.
Hughes, of Old Chester Road in Holywell , was jailed for 12 weeks - and the 90 day suspended prison sentence was imposed consecutively.
