Teelan Rock was sentenced at Nottingham Magistrates' Court

A man has been jailed after being caught with a knife and drugs in Nottinghamshire.
Teelan Rock, 24, was detained as he left a petrol station shop in Daybrook, Nottinghamshire Police said.
Officers discovered Rock was carrying a large lock knife in his pocket and a subsequent search of his flat in Mansfield Road, Woodthorpe, found wraps of crack cocaine and heroin.
Rock pleaded guilty to possession of a knife in a public place and possession of Class A drugs at Nottingham Magistrates Court on Monday and was jailed for four months.
PC Ken Tinley, of the knife crime team, said: “Those who choose to carry knives need to realise this can only lead to negative consequences.
"They’re more likely to get injured or stabbed themselves, as situations involving weapons can quickly get out of control."
