Former police officer, Byron Emerson-Thomas (pictured left), aged 54 - of Cowbridge in south Wales - has been fined for an assault after the breakdown of his marriage. The rogue had been married to his wife for 19 years and three months, but claimed that he left the relationship in October, 2023, to begin an extramarital affair. He was accused of pushing his wife thrice during a fierce argument, and pushing another person in the same incident. Emerson-Thomas's wife claimed that she was covered in bruises after being thrown against a wall by her husband, although the ex-copper claimed he suffered his own injuries after being "clawed" by his wife. At Cardiff Magistrates' Court in May of 2025, he was found innocent of attacking his wife, but found guilty of assaulting another person who was present during the married couple's row. He was ordered to pay a £280 fine, £320 in prosecution costs, and £112 to the victim. Like most criminals with obvious high levels of
psychopathic personality traits, Emerson-Thomas has several previous incidences of antisocial and amoral behaviour. In 2008, while still a police officer, Emerson-Thomas was cleared of wounding a fellow policeman at a Cardiff police station during a petty row about who would drive a new police van. In that case, he was said to have punched fellow P.C. Aled Bartlett and rubbed tea-soaked paper towels in his face, but Emerson-Thomas claimed he did it in self-defence, and the jury found him not guilty. In 2012, Emerson-Thomas resigned from South Wales Police amidst a scandal which saw him jailed for six weeks in 2013 for perverting the course of justice and misusing a police computer, after he had been caught trying to get a criminal damage investigation against a colleague dropped. Also, in 2019, Emerson-Thomas pleaded guilty to assaulting a man named Syed Ouafi, for which he was ordered to pay a £1,000 fine and £200 in compensation, as well as complete 20 days of rehabilitation activity.
