A man has been sentenced to a month in jail for carrying a pair of brass knuckles.
The man, Michael Moore, entered guilty pleas Tuesday before General Sessions Judge Bill Locke to charges of possession of a weapon and violation of probation. He was ordered to serve 30 days of an 11-month, 29-day sentence on the weapons charge. His time for violation of probation will be added on top of his weapons time. He was also required to forfeit his brass knuckles.
The charges come after Moore was arrested. During a search of his person the illegal weapon was found. Officers say the brass knuckles had spikes sticking out of the metal to make them even more lethal.
In other cases heard during General Sessions arraignment Tuesday morning:
• William Harris was handed an 11-29 probationary sentence, ordered to perform 25 hours public service work, and make $214 restitution for theft.
