AN ice cream seller who was stopped by police and found to be in possession of drugs – whilst also over the drug-drive limit – has been sentenced.

John King, of Hastings Street, Grimethorpe, was driving his van last March before being stopped on Stanley Street, Cudworth.

The 48-year-old was found to have amphetamine in his possession and was also charged with drug-driving as the same Class B substance was in his system.

King was fined £450, told to pay a £360 surcharge and court costs of £85, while his licence was endorsed with ten penalty points.
