Jan. 15 (UPI) -- A 44-year-old British man with mental health problems has been sentenced to 16 months in jail for a misguided attempt to see Queen Elizabeth last October.
David Belmar jumped over a vehicle barrier near the staff entrance to Buckingham Palace with a knife in his pocket. He reportedly told police at the time that he "wanted to see the queen" because he was "not happy with his benefits."
