A man who admitted a bomb hoax in Bristol after he doused a car in fuel has been sent to prison for 20 months.
More than 450 homes in the Cassell Road area of Fishponds were evacuated in May when the area around the BMW was sealed off.
Stewart Jackson, 42, from Emersons Green, appeared at Bristol Crown Court from custody, for sentencing.
At a previous appearance Jackson pleaded guilty to damaging property and placing a hoax bomb.
Supt Richard Cadden said: "Jackson staged this bomb hoax as part of an ongoing dispute with another man.
"He hoped his actions would cause fear and disruption to the victim and his family."
