A MAN has been jailed after he was caught with a knuckle duster which had a large retractable dagger.
Timothy Taylor was locked up for six months at Newport Magistrates' Court after being arrested with the fearsome weapon on Seymour Way in Magor on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old defendant pleaded guilty to possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.
He was jailed by magistrates who said the offence was “aggravated” by it being committed after he had been released from prison on licence.
