A man who admitted carrying an eight-inch blade in Campbeltown has had his sentence deferred.
James Deavy, 29, of 7 Glenside, Campbeltown, appeared at Campbeltown Sheriff Court on indictment, charged with having a knife without reasonable excuse or lawful authority at Glenside, Mill Street and other public places on April 23.
Procurator fiscal depute Eoin McGinty told the court that Deavy, who has a record of previous convictions, had been drinking with his partner when she decided she needed police assistance.
