A man who was caught carrying a knife and Class A drugs has been jailed.

Hughes, of Old Chirk Road, Gobowen, admitted a charge of possession of Class A drugs at a court hearing in July. At a later trial hearing in September, he was found guilty in his absence of a charge of having a blade in a public place without lawful authority.
At his sentencing at Kidderminster Magistrates Court, he also admitted a charge of failing to surrender to custody and another of failing to comply with a supervision order.
He was sentenced to 22 weeks in prison.
