A MAN is facing trial on a weapons charge over an allegation that he threatened another man with a slash hook in a confrontation at a halting site.

Martin Stokes (24) had the case against him adjourned for the preparation of a book of evidence after a judge decided that the case was too serious to be dealt with at District Court level.
Stokes, of Old Castle Park Green, Bawnogue, Clondalkin, is charged with producing a weapon in the course of a dispute last December 19, Blanchardstown District Court heard.
The judge refused jurisdiction to deal with the case and adjourned it for six weeks.
