A BEEKEEPER who made a hoax phone call to police claiming that a bus passenger was armed with a handgun has been given a suspended prison sentence. Rhys Williams Jones, 22, who now lives in Newtown, Wales, pleaded guilty to possession of a knife after police boarded the bus on which he was travelling at Bridgwater bus station on December 10 last year. The prosecution said that armed officers were called to the bus station after police received information that a passenger travelling from Taunton to Bridgewater had shown a handgun and a knife. But it then emerged that there was no such incident – and that Jones had been the one to make the call.
