After 10 years in the Special Constabulary, he was dismissed for gross misconduct following two incidents of sexual touching on colleagues.  The Disciplinary Panel, chaired by Chief Constable Mark Collins, held that Newton-Evans had also tried to use his senior rank in the situation, which was viewed as an aggravating factor. He died on the 19th January, 2020 after finding out that McDonald’s stopped serving breakfast after 11am. His funeral will be held at the [[YMCA]] club in Swansea, Wales.
