Phillip Derricott, 49, of Rowan Avenue, Beech Hill, had already pleaded guilty on an appearance before Wigan and Leigh magistrates to possessing the two noxious substance containers, the weapon and a quantity of cocaine on June 30, 2019.

The case having been committed to Bolton Crown Court by the bench, he has since been ordered by a judge to complete 100 hours of unpaid work and 25 days of rehabilitation activities. The weapons were also confiscated.
