The court heard from the prosecutor that the 51-year-old, whose address was given as Ryelands Street, Hereford, had failed to give information relating to the driver of a vehicle, namely a Volkswagen California, who was alleged to have been guilty of an offence, to police in Gwent on March 11.
Magistrates in Newport, South Wales, fined Lewis £600 for the offence.
He also received six penalty points on his driving record and was ordered to pay prosecution costs of £90 and a £264 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime, bringing the total he must pay to £1,014.
