AN ex-convict who breached a suspended sentence order will not be sent straight to jail despite pleading guilty to possession of a knife and other offences.
Lewis Georgiou, 26, of Cawley Avenue, Prestwich, was sentenced for possession of a bladed article in public, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance at Bolton Crown Court.
Joshua Bowker, prosecuting, told the court Georgiou had been involved in an altercation with his former landlord, who he claimed owed the defendant £500, in Tennyson Road, Farnworth, on June 9.
The court heard that following this fracas, which saw Georgiou's BMW car damaged and him suffer other injuries, he drove away, reversing into a fence and driving into a concrete pillar.
