He also pleaded guilty to being in possession of an offensive weapon in a private place, namely a baton.

The court heard they were both apprehended by police on May 1 last year.

David Jones, prosecuting, told the court that Haynes was one of a group of people who fled from police after being spotted in Cowley.

Armstrong was stopped as police suspected that one of the people who initially fled the area was his son.

They attended his address and saw him running away in a vehicle. Drugs worth £11,940 were found in his car, as well as the machete.

Haynes was given a 23-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.

He was ordered to complete 150 hours of unpaid work within 12 months and 25 rehabilitation activity requirement days. He was also given four months of trail monitoring.

Armstrong was jailed for three years and six months.

Orders were also made for the forfeiture and destruction of the drugs, paraphernalia, weapons and phones.
