A MAN caught with a weapon capable of firing noxious liquids has been sentenced.
Stuart Jennings was found with the item, which was able to shoot out the CS gas, at his home.
Exposure to the liquid can cause a burning sensation and tearing of the eyes leaving the victim unable to keep their eyes open.
The 27-year-old pleaded guilty to possessing the illegal weapon at a hearing in Southampton Magistrates' Court.
Jennings, of Suttones Place, Southampton, was discharged conditionally for 24 months.
He was ordered to pay £20 victim surcharge.
