Alan Marcus Fowler, 28, was arrested with the weapon at Newport’s Kingsway Centre on May 23.

The defendant, of Chepstow Road, pleaded guilty to having a bladed article in public and possession of cannabis.

Fowler was sent to prison for 31 weeks and ordered to pay £213 in costs and a surcharge after his release from custody.
