A person accused of producing a knife, when demanding a doctor write out a prescription, has appeared in court.

Bear-Butterfly Cloud (24) pleaded not guilty to blackmail, by making an unwarranted demand with menaces for a prescription for oestrogen and a sick note, while at a doctor’s surgery on August 15.

A not guilty plea was also entered in relation to possession of a lock-knife in a public place, namely Bridge Street in Loughborough, on the same date.

The defendant attended court carrying a teddy bear which was seated on Cloud’s knee in the dock during the hearing.

Judge Philip Head adjourned the Leicester Crown Court hearing for a trial, due to take place in February.

Cloud, of Burleigh Road, Loughborough, was released on bail.
