Mother Threatens Friend with Knife After Suspecting Theft

A Litherland mother, Lauren Sankey, threatened her friend with a knife after suspecting her of stealing cannabis. Sankey, who had been drinking, grabbed a seven-inch blade and lunged at her friend, leaving scratches on her arms. Sankey later admitted to knowing her friend from school and said the alcohol fueled her outburst. She pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm, threatening with a weapon, and assaulting an emergency worker. Despite her prior assaults, Sankey was given a ten-month jail term suspended for two years, twenty rehabilitation days, a restraining order against her friend, and compensation payments. The court cited her progress and young children as reasons for leniency.
