SCRANTON - A city man could spend up to 23 months in Lackawanna County Prison for waving a machete in public in a threatening manner on Cedar Avenue in South Side.
Lackawanna County Judge Vito P. Geroulo sentenced Brandon Cole, 20, 730 Willow St., to 11 to 23 months and two years of probation on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to charges of simple assault and terroristic threats in August.
City police said they saw Mr. Cole throw his machete beneath a Dumpster before he was taken into custody in the incident in March.
