A man found carrying a pair of knives has been locked up within two days of his arrest.
Officers attended a street disturbance in Dunstan Street, Netherfield, around 3.45am on Saturday (23 August).
They located and detained Valdir Joao who had been banging on the windows of an address in the street.
Officers then searched Joao and recovered a hunting knife from his waistband and a lock knife from one of his pockets.
He was arrested and charged before going on to plead guilty to two counts of possession of a blade in a public place at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court.
The 28-year-old, of no fixed address, was jailed for six months on Monday (25 August).
Police Constable Rhys Bradshaw, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“The response teams who attended this incident worked efficiently to locate Joao and carry out thorough searches.
“Their efforts enabled us to seize two weapons which have been taken off the streets and will now be destroyed.
“There is never any excuse for anyone to be carrying a blade in public. It puts themselves and anyone they come into contact with at greater risk of harm.
“As this incident also highlights it can very quickly lead to you being put behind bars.”
