DRIVING with over three times the legal limit of cocaine in his body has cost a Narberth man a 14-month ban.

Tony Alexander Evans, 29, appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court yesterday, Wednesday January 5.

He pleaded guilty to driving a Vauxhall Vivaro car on the A40 at Arnolds Down, Haverfordwest on July 19 with the amount of cocaine in his body exceeding the prescribed limit.

The court was told that a blood test showed a reading of 152 microgrammes of cocaine in a litre of blood, the legal limit being 50.

In addition to the 14-month driving disqualification, Evans was also fined £120 and ordered to pay a surcharge and costs totalling £119.
