Chorley woman found with knife and scissors avoids jail
Preston Magistrates’ Court heard how Jolene Wesley, of Hindley Street, Chorley, had the sharply pointed objects with her on Hollinshead Street in Chorley on May 21 this year.
The bench ruled the offences were serious enough to merit a custodial term, and imposed an eight week prison sentence.
However the court agreed to suspend it for 12 months.
