Man had knuckleduster and knife by school
A man telephoned police to tell them he was carrying weapons and that he was opposite a school on Devonshire Road.
David Wallace, 33, of Meyler Avenue, Layton, pleaded guilty to possessing a knuckleduster as an offensive weapon, having cannabis and failing to answer bail and attend court. He was bailed for pre-sentence reports by Blackpool magistrates.

Officers went to the scene where Wallace had a knuckleduster clutched in his hand.
