I'm from the UK, and after a drunken mistake I was arrested and charged with "common assault" and carrying an offensive weapon. I told the police that, at the time, I was very upset due to the recent death of a friend, and my reason for carrying the knife was that I always carry it as a bottle opener and such (it's a swiss army knife, with the gadgets.etc)

Im due to appear in court in March. Ive never been arrested before and therefore don't have a criminal record. I'm a 21 year old university student, studying to become a teacher.

I was just wondering if anyone may know what the probable outcome of the court case will be? will I be fined? sent to jail?

I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning or not, but I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was younger and I still get incapacity benefits because of it, is this likely to affect the case at all? Is it something I should mention?

What is most likely to happen next?
