A Harrogate man has been jailed for carrying a kitchen knife in public and possessing heroin.
Nigel Green, of Fairfax Avenue, appeared before York Magistrates Court this week charged with both offences.
Green, 42, pleaded guilty to the charges.
He was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison for carrying a kitchen knife on Fairfax Avenue after the court found it was his second conviction of the same charge.
The magistrates also jailed Green for four weeks for carrying a wrap of heroin on Roche Avenue. The time will be served concurrently with the first sentence.
