A man caught with a knife at the protests in Dover earlier this year has been jailed.

Craig Knott, 35, of Crown Quay Lane, Sittingbourne, was spotted by officers "behaving erratically" in Folkestone Road.

After being told he was going to be searched under the Misuse of Drugs Act, Knott admitted he was carrying a lock knife.
