A Douglas woman will be sentenced next month after admitting carrying a knife in public.

Nicola Donna Gelling of Empire Terrace appeared before High Bailiff Jayne Hughes at Douglas Courthouse.

She pleaded guilty to possessing a prohibited article in a public place on June 16.

Mrs Hughes bailed the 36 year old in the sum of £500 on condition she cooperates with mental health services and doesn't leave the Isle of Man without permission from the court.

She'll appear again for sentencing on August 27 after psychiatric reports are prepared.
