An armed cannabis dealer caught with drug money told police he had wanted the cash to buy a puppy.
Troy Aindow was found to have cannabis wraps and a lock knife. Aindow said he had no plans to use the knife but the judge described this as “nonsense” and told him not to waste his time.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that when arrested Aindow, now 20, said he had the knife in his pocket because “you just never know”.
