A MAN was jailed after arming himself with a large knife and threatening door-staff who had ejected him from a pub in Haverfordwest.
Christopher Main, of Dew Street, pleaded guilty to possession of a bladed article and an offensive weapon in a public place and threatening violence by using behaviour which would cause people to fear for their safety.
Sian Vaughan, prosecuting, told Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Monday (Feb 25) that the defendant had been told to leave the Lower Three Crowns in Haverfordwest last Friday (Feb 22), as he was being too loud. Main soon became abusive, and was warned that if he continued to be confrontational, he would be banned. The court then heard that Main returned to the establishment armed with a multi-tool with a blade. He threatened to cut the door-staff, who then managed to restrain him, and a large knife was found down the back of his trousers. Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court heard that Main had previously been convicted of a similar offence in Scotland.
Megan Williams, defending, told the court that the defendant had only had two pints that evening, but he could not remember the incident. The court also heard that Main had been diagnosed with a personality disorder, yet had not been receiving treatment in the wake of his recent move to the area.
Main was sentenced to 12 months in prison and ordered to pay £225 in costs and a surcharge.
