Man jailed in the UK for four months for possession of replica Master Sword
A man in the UK has been sentenced to four months in prison after being found in possession of a small replica of the Master Sword whilst out in public.
Anthony Bray, a 48 year-old man from Nuneaton, was approached by officers on June 8 after being spotted carrying a 6-inch replica of Link’s iconic sword by CCTV operators. Although the sword was sheathed at Bray claimed he bought it as a “fidget toy” online, the fact that he was carrying it openly in the town center led to his arrest and sentencing on June 28. He was also fined £154 for possession of the item/
Sgt Spellman of the Patrol Investigations Unit had this to say as a follow-up:
“We take a zero tolerance to bladed articles in public, and Bray has fallen afoul of this. It is possible to find fidget toys that aren’t six-inch blades. It is possible not to walk down the street holding them out in front of you. With a bit more self-awareness, Bray could have avoided contact with us completely.”
