⚠️ **Dramatic Scene in Cardiff Ends in Courtroom Consequences** ⚠️
In a heated moment at Cardiff’s Huggard Centre, Curtis Parsons found himself at the heart of a violent incident. What started as an argument quickly escalated when Parsons, who was dining at the time, threw his knife at another man, Daniel Edwards.
The court was told that Parsons, unsettled by Edwards standing over him, uttered threats before tossing the knife across a table, hitting Edwards on the knee. As tensions rose, Parsons grabbed a chair, but quick-thinking security staff member Nathan Hill stepped in just in time to prevent further chaos.
Parsons was swiftly removed from the scene, arrested, and later denied any wrongdoing, claiming he was provoked. Appearing via video link from HMP Cardiff, Parsons, 31, pleaded guilty to affray. His solicitor explained that Parsons hadn’t meant to act violently and was merely reacting poorly with cutlery already in hand from eating.
His past, marked by a turbulent childhood and time spent in care, was highlighted in mitigation. Judge Paul Hobson noted Parsons’ “extreme” reaction, though no injuries were reported apart from the impact with the knife. For his actions, Parsons received a four-month prison sentence.
This tale serves as a sharp reminder of the consequences of letting tempers flare! 😟 #CardiffNews #CourtroomDrama #StayCalm
