A man who ruined a wedding reception when he turned up brandishing an eight-inch knife after a row with his dad during the festivities has been jailed.
Liam McKnight flew into a rage after his father told him to calm down during the party at Chamber East, in Dundee’s Panmure Street.
McKnight’s lawyer said the row had been sparked when the teenager told a girl who was “chatting him up” to “f*** off”.
The 19-year-old jumped up, shouted at his father then stormed off out of the venue, smashing a glass panel on his way out.
He returned minutes later brandishing the massive weapon.
At Dundee Sheriff Court, McKnight, 19, a prisoner at HMP YOI Polmont, pleaded guilty on indictment to possessing a knife on February 14.
Sheriff Alastair Brown jailed McKnight for 13 months.
