Judge delays sentence so crook can go on Tenerife hol

A MAN facing prison for weapons and drugs offences had his sentence postponed so he could go holiday. Colin Watson, 51, was found with a Taser and baton, as well as cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis when he was stopped by police, Cardiff crown court heard. His barrister asked if sentencing could be adjourned so he could go on a pre-booked trip to Tenerife. Judge Jeremy Jenkins told Watson, of Pontypool, who admitted possessing offensive weapons and class A and class B drugs, he would allow it as ‘an act of mercy’.
