Arrested for Swiss Army Knife 2

Back in April the media treated us to another game of 'What is this country coming to' with the tale of someone arrested for possession of a Swiss Army Knife. As I said at the time I doubted we'd got the full picture.

Well the other day someone asked about the outcome of that story so I went a-searching and found this.

So turns out this was a three-inch lockable blade which is illegal*. Did any of the nationals publish an alteration of the story they'd been so quick to broadcast? I haven't seen anything.

[*Update - Illegal in a public place without good cause. It might be argued that a private vehicle isn't public and that he had cause as he used it to cut fruit while on holiday in the caravan. However Private vehicles can be classed as in public and they weren't on holiday at the time]
