A Lynn man has avoided an immediate prison term for his second offence of having a knife in a public place.
It was successfully argued that Leon Paul Dowd, 38, was making good progress under supervision from probation officers after a previous unrelated spell in custody.
And town magistrates accepted that the butter knife with a 3in blade was at the lower end of being dangerous.
