A 52-year-old man has been charged with the possession of an offensive weapon and a taser at the Angel Hotel in Lavenham.
Police received reports than a man entered the pub, on Market Place, in the early hours of Monday, January 8, with prohibited and offensive weapons.

The decision was upheld by Babergh District Council’s licencing sub-committee at a hearing in Ipswich in February.
An application for a new Designated Premises Supervisor was later made to the council and approved, allowing the Angel to continue trading,
