A MAN who had a knife when fighting broke out in Cleator Moor has been sentenced.
Josh Walter Rudd, 21, appeared at Carlisle Crown Court today after night-time violence flared on August 1 last year.
It was said to have involved a number of young men, including Rudd, on land at King George Close.
Rudd was later found to have been in possession of a folding pocket knife. It was stressed, however, it had not been produced or used during the disturbance.
He admitted possessing a bladed article in a public place.
Rudd, of Robert Owen Place, Cleator Moor, was ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid work.
