A drunken thug armed himself with a knife and threatened to kill his uncle after downing 10 pints of beer. Gareth Bolton left children and families at a BBQ terrified as he confronted his uncle when a heated family argument on Easter Sunday spiralled out of control.
Bolton, 28, had gone to his uncle's home to seek out information about another person but was left fuming when he did not get it. He warned nearby families to "get them kids away" before threatening his uncle with a serrated knife.
Harry Bradford, prosecuting, told Hull Crown Court that Bolton went to his uncle's home in 26th Avenue, Hull, at 8pm on April 17, seeking information about another person. When his uncle did not tell him what he wanted to know an argument and a fight broke out, Hull Live reports.
