This article is FAKE news! The knife in question was NOT a simple 'swiss army' penknife, as claimed here, but actually a BUCK X-Tractor Multi-tool, which has a 3" (LEGAL), serrated LOCKING (ILLEGAL) blade. - Which this article is completely overlooking. The fact he pleaded guilty, meant that certain details pertaining to his behaviour that led to his car being searched, were no presented in court. Namely that the Defendant had made verbal threats that involved the use of a knife, earlier on whilst in the pub. The police searched his car after acting on this information.
