QUOTE: A man who was driving whilst under the influence of cocaine and cannabis has been handed a 23-month driving ban.

Lee Millington, 33, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to 3 counts of drug driving when he appeared at the Isle of Wight Magistrates.

Ann Smout, prosecuting, told the court that just before 03:00 on 17th August, Millington was seen driving his blue Vauxhall Corsa at speed on St Johns Road in Ryde.

Further down the road officers stopped Millington, instantly noticing a strong smell of cannabis from his car. A roadside drugs wipe was conducted and it returned a positive test for cannabis.

He was taken to Newport Police Station and asked to complete a blood sample.. This later returned positive readings for Cocaine, THC, and Benzoylecgonine – the breakdown derivative of cocaine.

Millington was last in court back in December 2019 when he faced a charge of harassment.

Defending, Henry Farley said that Millington was sheepish and remorseful and that drugs aren’t a regular part of his life. He added that the 33-year-old had lost his job as a removal man as a result of this incident.

Magistrates sentenced Millington to a 12-month community order with 80 hours of unpaid work attached. He was also handed a 23-month driving ban and ordered to pay £40 costs with a £114 surcharge fee.ENDS

STOP PRESS - HE COULDN'T BE ARSED TO FOLLOW HIS SENTENCE.
