Repeated drug driver spared jail
A man with a "dreadful record" of drink and drug driving has been spared jail after being caught twice in a month behind the wheel with illegal drugs in his system.
Stuart Stoker of Brindley Ford, Brookside, Telford was stopped by police on the Bridgnorth Road in Telford on November 16, Telford Magistrates Court heard on Wednesday.
The court was told that police officers stopped the 36-year-old's Audi A4 at around 11.45am to quiz the driver about the darkened tint of the windows on his vehicle.
Ms Sara Beddow, prosecuting, said following the routine traffic stop, a roadside drug swab test was conducted and Stoker was found to have twice the legal prescribed limit of cannabis in his system.
