A Flintshire man has been warned to prepare himself for "all options" including prison time when he's sentenced for making a threat to kill.
Christopher Fisher, of Old Chester Road in Milwr, appeared at Mold Crown Court on Friday morning.
The 43-year-old admitted one offence of making a threat to kill, which took place on February 23.
Judge Rhys Rowlands told the defendant: "You have pleaded guilty and that is important - it does attract credit.

"That means a reduction in the sentence imposed by the court.
"But this is a serious matter and you must be prepared for all sentencing options, including custody."
The court heard Fisher had made "good progress" on a previous community order.
Judge Rowlands agreed to adjourn the hearing in order to allow the Probation Service to prepare a report on his progress and engagement prior to the sentence - which will take place on May 8.
