A Spice-addled man spotted pilfering from a parked car threatened intervening residents with scissors. Gareth Llewellyn was seen trying the door handles or cars in Hampton Road, Redland, and he has now been jailed.
Bristol Crown Court was told when people approached him he produced scissors and said "do you want some of this?" before scarpering. Police arrested him after he was able to use a credit card stolen from a car to buy tobacco.
Llewellyn, 42, of Logos House in Wade Street, pleaded guilty to threatening with a knife, theft from a vehicle and fraud by false representation on September 6 last year. He also admitted criminal damage of a police cell the next day.
