A TEENAGER admitted possessing drugs and a knife at a railway station.
Piotr Wiertelak was at Brighton Station when he was found in possession of the weapon and cannabis.
The 18-year-old, of Seaford Road, Crawley, appeared before Brighton Magistrates’ Court where he admitted possessing the class B drug and the knife in March this year.
Both the cannabis and the knife were ordered to be forfeited for destruction.
It was the second time Wiertelak has appeared in court for a knife offence.
Magistrates imposed a six month suspended prison sentence.
They ordered him to complete 30 rehabilitation sessions with probation, and do 150 hours of community service.
Wiertelak must also pay a £115 surcharge and £350 court costs after changing his previous plea.
