A man brandishing a wooden pole in Ramsey has been jailed.
James Caulfield, 39, of High Street, Ramsey, was arrested on 16 June after police were called to reports of him waving the pole and shouting abusive language in Great Whyte.
On 2 July he was arrested again after being found in possession of a four-inch craft knife, also in Great Whyte.
At Peterborough Magistrates Court on Friday (9 February), Caulfield, was sentenced to 40 weeks in prison after pleading guilty to possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and possession of a knife in a public place and activating a suspended sentence.
PCs Simon Taylor and Oliver Thomas, who investigated the crimes, said: “Caulfield is a prolific criminal who has caused misery within the local community with his unpredictable behaviour.
“This sentence demonstrates the severity of his offending and I hope residents and businesses in Ramsey can feel safe with him now behind bars.”
