A man virtually asked to be arrested when he turned up at a police station with a blade in the early hours of the morning.
Hamilton Sheriff Court heard William Paton, 47, shouted 'I've got a knife in my front pocket. I'm homeless. What do you expect?'.
Paton, a prisoner, admitted unlawful possession of a bladed item in Windmillhill Street, Motherwell, on August 10 this year.
