A MAN from Dalton escaped a prison sentence despite having a flick knife in his possession in a public place, a court heard. Christopher Kenneth Johnson, of Lancaster Street, was searched by police at Troutbeck Bridge Filling Station in Windermere after they smelled cannabis coming from the car he was in and found a flick knife, South Cumbria Magistrates Court was told. The 37-year-old said that this was a novelty lighter purchased in Spain and he was at the petrol station to get a new lighter as that one had run out of gas. Mr Lee Dacre, solicitor for the prosecution, said: You push a button on the knife, and it flicks up and fixes into place.
