A MAN who had a knife, cocaine, heroin and herbal cannabis in Bournemouth Square has been jailed.
Mark Callum McElwee, 48, was put behind bars at Poole Magistrates' Court after he admitted a series of offences.
McElwee, of no fixed abode, had a knife with a 11.5cm blade in the town centre on April 27.
The court heard that he also had the class A and class B drugs in his possession.
At a hearing on April 28, magistrates committed him to prison for 16 weeks for having the knife and the drugs, which were to be forfeited and destroyed.
He was handed a further four weeks behind bars for breaching a suspended sentence order issued by East London Magistrates' Court in June last year.
This related to him having a folding lock knife in the capital on June 4, 2020.
