A man pulled out a machete on his friend in an argument over drugs but was chased down the street and attacked with a baseball bat. He ended up with injuries, while his victim was left unharmed, and his now been jailed.
Liam Jones, 31, had been smoking cannabis with Ashley Boyland in a shed at the latter's Bargoed home when an argument began with Jones accused of stealing cannabis. In response the defendant said: "Why the f*** are you accusing me of that s***?" before pulling out a machete from his clothing.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Thursday heard Jones swung the machete at Mr Boyland, who shouted to his partner to call the police. She then locked the doors as she feared for the safety of her children.
