Man with knife in Dundee convicted for third time

A man who admitted his third conviction for possessing a knife has been jailed.

Sean Thomson, 28, a prisoner at Perth, was ordered to be returned to prison for 100 days as part of an unexpired portion of a previous sentence.

He was also given an extra month in jail by Sheriff Alastair Brown.

Thomson admitted possession of the Stanley-type lock knife at Panmure Street and Albert Square on April 1 this year.

The court heard Thomson had five previous convictions, including two on indictment for possession of knives.

Solicitor Paul Parker Smith told the court Thomson’s record was a short one but added: “It’s very relevant.

“He is under no illusions that a custodial disposal will be imposed today.”
