A 20-year-old man, Kallam Clifton, has been sentenced by Nottingham Magistrates’ Court after police discovered a large machete tucked inside his clothing. The incident occurred in an Arnold McDonald’s car park when Clifton fell from an off-road motorcycle while riding in an antisocial manner.

According to police, Clifton and another rider shouted abuse at officers before Clifton lost his balance and attempted to flee on foot. During his detention, officers found the weapon and noted that Clifton had exceeded the legal alcohol limit. Clifton pleaded guilty to possession of a knife in a public place, drink-driving, and driving without a license or insurance. He received a community order including 120 hours of unpaid work.
