Justas Nenortas, aged 33, of Corin Close, Bletchley, Milton Keynes was charged with one count of possession of a knife blade/sharply pointed article in a public place on Sunday (3/7).
The charge relates to an incident on Saturday (2/7) when a man was searched in Fern Grove and a Stanley knife was recovered.

The arrest comes as Thames Valley Police announced the launch of its brand new anti knife operation last week.

The main objective of the operation is to make 'better use of charging and remanding offenders aged over 18 to court', ensuring that a robust message is sent to anyone found in possession of a knife.
