A man has admitted arming himself with an axe during a dispute on an industrial estate in Cullompton.
Lee Gillett was already on bail for an incident in which he threatened to set light to a pub when he was arrested with the weapon on the Alexandria estate in January.
The 37-year-old will now face sentence for both offences when he returns to Exeter Crown Court in September.
Gillett, aged 37, of Rivermead, Cullompton, admitted having an article with a blade or point in a public place and his case was adjourned for a pre sentence report by Judge Erik Salomonsen.
He is already awaiting sentence after admitted to threatening to set light to The Bell Inn where he sprayed petrol through a window onto the carpet.
Mr Rupert Taylor, defending, said the axe charge arises out of a dispute between Gillett and a group of other people at the industrial estate.
Judge Salomonsen said he was making no promises about the eventual sentence.
