A man who went in to a home with a meat cleaver and made threats to kill is to be sentenced at a later date.
Robert Cates, 38, from Stowey Road in Yatton, was due to be sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on Wednesday, June 10 after pleading guilty to affray and making threats to kill.
But John Stokes, defending, urged for more information on his client to be put before the court and further reports have been ordered.
Judge Martin Picton said Cates must understand it was likely he would receive a custodial sentence.
But he adjourned sentence for a week to allow the making of both a report on Cates' mental health and an updated report from the Probation Service.
In an earlier hearing, a court heard Cates entered the home of a man in Yatton while holding a knife and meat cleaver.
Cates then held a weapon to the man’s throat and made threats to him and another man, saying the drinks the pair were having would be their last.
Firearms officers were dispatched to the property in Mendip Road shortly after 7pm.
DC Richard Worrin said: “The quick work of firearms officers on the bank holiday brought a highly dangerous situation to a peaceful conclusion without anybody getting seriously hurt.”
