A Paisley dad has been fined over £1,000 after being caught with a knife in a public place – claiming he was using it to try keep a door open.
Steven Gibson, of Causeyside Street, insisted his close door wasn’t working properly and so he tried to use a knife to keep it open while he went to the shop for four cans of Stella Artois.
However, the blade wasn’t thick enough to hold the door open and closed over.
