One of Shropshire's first drug drivers spared jail after being caught again
One of the first people arrested for drug driving in Shropshire has narrowly escaped being jailed after appearing in court charged with the same offence again.
Jason Robert Butter, of Maer Lane, Market Drayton, was among the first people in the country to be charged with driving a motor vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit after the law was introduced in March 2015.
He was handed a three-year ban by magistrates in May of that year after admitting the offence that took place just six days after the law was introduced on March 2.
Appearing at Telford Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, the 35-year-old again pleaded guilty to drug driving as well as driving while disqualified and using a motor vehicle on a road without third party insurance.
