He admitted being in breach of a suspended sentence imposed by an earlier court for being in possession of a knife in a public place. He was sentenced to a total of 34 weeks in prison. Magistrates said the reason for the sentence was the seriousness of the offence and the fact that it involved a further offence of a bladed article.
