A MAN has been spared jail after making threats with a metal bar.

Arsenas Bogdonovic, from Orford, threatened a man with the weapon during an incident on Orford Lane in November last year.

The 23-year-old admitted affray and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place at Warrington Magistrates Court on Wednesday, June 10.

Bogdonovic, of Battersby Lane, was handed an eight-week imprisonment suspended for a year.

Magistrates also ordered the Lithuanian national to pay a £115 victim surcharge.
