A 30-year-old man has been jailed for 16 months after threatening to shoot a passer-by in a Lincolnshire village. 

Lincoln Crown Court heard that Kye Robinson had followed a man in Billinghay after accusing him of "staring" at him outside the co-op store. 

Armed officers and a helicopter were called to the scene in October last year. 

Robinson, 30, from Victoria Street, admitted charges of threatening behaviour and driving while disqualified.

We'll find out next week how a safety review is going of a road in North East Lincolnshire where a family of five died.

Three years ago five members of the Cockburn family died in a crash on the A18 near Laceby just outside Grimsby. 

The safety review into the road was commissioned after an inquest into their deaths and a series of inspections were carried out last August.

The stretch of the road under review is between the junction with the A46 Laceby roundabout and the county boundary to the south. 

Next week cabinet members will consider the independent report into the feasibility of bringing that stretch of the A18 to the standard of a modern A road and also how the road could be made safer.

North East Lincolnshire Council has admitted that it missed opportunities to protect a four-year-old girl who died after being forced to take drugs by her mother. 

Poppy Widdison collapsed at her home in Grimsby in June 2013. 

Last month her mother and ex-partner were found guilty of child cruelty. 

Her mother Michala Pyke, 37, of Ladysmith Road, and her former partner John Rytting, 40, of Frederick Street had denied giving her drugs in the months before her death.

The pair will be sentenced later this month.

Now a review has found that not enough people knew about the state in which Poppy was living.
