Neo Taylor of Winthorpe Avenue, who admitted the offences, was said to have been stopped by police on Roman Bank at 10.30pm on July 28 when they found the two items and he was detained.

Mitigating, Chris Hogg said the cannabis was for his own personal use and the knife was used to clean out his grinder for the cannabis and had not been brandished in public.
