Knife carrier pleads guilty
A MAN was spotted by a member of the public carrying a blade as he walked along a busy city centre street.
Simon Hill, 49, was arrested in Holyrood Road, after police received a tip-off that he had the weapon on display in a public place.
Hill, of Randolph Crescent, pleaded guilty at Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday to illegally possessing a knife on March 30 last year.
Sentence was deferred until later this month in order for the court to obtain reports about Hill’s character.
