A Kendal homeless man avoided jail for knife possession after judge waived sentence due to his dire circumstances.
A homeless man from Kendal was arrested for carrying a knife when visiting a police station to report medical concerns, with authorities finding the blade during a routine search.
Though a second knife offense typically mandates a six-month jail term, Judge Michael Fanning waived the sentence due to exceptional circumstances, citing the man’s lack of stable housing, no phone, and efforts to seek help.
The case was adjourned for one month to allow time for a probation report, with the judge urging the man to attend his next court date on November 27.
The decision highlights the legal system’s ability to consider individual hardship when applying mandatory penalties.
