Christopher Soden received a 20-month sentence at Airdrie Sheriff Court. He admitted having an offensive weapon in the town's Graham Street on May 5 last year.

Annette Ward, prosecuting, said he and another man were denied entry to a nightclub at 11.20pm because they were drunk. A doorman noted that Soden was carrying a Buckfast bottle.

The pair walked off and Soden was seen on CCTV to smash the bottle off a wall.
