Published

Adrian Nastasesch, of Blakemore, Brookside, was caught in the street where he lives on July 5 this year. A breathalyser test found that he had 107 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - more than three times the legal limit of 35mcg.

Nastasesch, aged 30, pleaded guilty to driving when above the alcohol limit and driving while disqualified at Kidderminster Magistrates Court.

Magistrates handed him an eight-week prison sentence - suspended for two years - citing his "flagrant disregard for court orders". He was also banned from the road for five years.
