A man found himself in hot water after picking up a discarded blade and polishing it with a stick outside an Esso petrol station.
David Taylor was arrested on June 25 2022 after being spotted toying with a large saw outside Tesco Esso Express on Queens Drive at around 8.45pm. The 42-year-old, who 5 previous convictions for 57 offences, including several for possession of offensive weapons, pleaded guilty to possession of a bladed article.
At Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday, July 11, Judge MP Taylor told him: "If you see a saw in a public place, if you don't know you shouldn't have touched it, I don't know what's going wrong with your brain to be honest, because you've been to prison for this in the past."
