A DRINK-DRIVER who was more than three times over the legal limit has been given a suspended prison sentence.
Craig Lang, of Lobwood, Worsbridge Bridge, drove a Mercedes van and was stopped on Whinby Road, Dodworth, on February 3. He had 120mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath.
The 61-year-old was given an eight-week sentence, which was suspended for 12 months, because of the high reading and ‘poor standard’ of driving witnessed. Lang was told to carry out 180 hours of unpaid work, pay costs of £85, a £154 surcharge and was banned from driving for two-and-a-half years.
A DRINK-DRIVER who was almost four times above the legal limit has been bailed. Annmarie Wilcock, of Briggs Street, Carlton, was stopped by police on Park Spring Road, Grimethorpe, on March 17. The 48-year-old had 131mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath. She will return to Barnsley Magistrates’ Court on May 12 for sentencing.
A HOYLAND drink-driver who was also disqualified is set to be sentenced. Darren Thompson, of Greenside Lane, got behind the wheel of a Suzuki on March 17 before being stopped on Darfield Road, Cudworth. The 26-year-old had 44mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath, higher than the 35mg limit. Thompson – who pleaded guilty – was bailed to allow a pre-sentence report to be compiled and he will return to Barnsley Magistrates’ Court on May 15.
