Teen Sentenced for Knife Offense | Nottingham News

An 18-year-old from Nottingham, Eamon Costello, got nine months in jail for repeatedly carrying knives — including a lock knife caught in a city shop — just weeks after a suspended sentence. With two prior convictions and a youth caution, the judge warned future offenses could mean years behind bars. His lawyer said his time on an adult prison wing has been a turning point, hoping it’s a wake-up call before things escalate further. Police tracked him into the shop, where he placed the knife on a shelf before being arrested — and he pleaded guilty. This case underscores how youth knife possession is being met with serious legal consequences. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
