Overview
- Tyler Davidson received a 12-month sentence after his guilty plea for possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.
- The case stemmed from a February 26 fight in an alley off Macbean Street in North Ormesby after a member of the public called police.
- Officers found the 29-year-old holding a machete and a military-style knife with a third blade visible behind his leg.
- Police used a Taser when Davidson brandished the knives, detained him at the scene, and later confirmed no injuries were reported.
- Davidson, of Rochester Road in Stockton, was sentenced Wednesday at Teesside Magistrates' Court, and Cleveland Police urged people not to carry knives due to the legal and safety consequences.
