A TOWY Valley man has been banned from driving for three years and tagged for 12 weeks after he admitted drug driving.
Luke Watson, 40, of Bronhaul, Llandovery, appeared at the magistrates’ court in Llanelli on September 10 and admitted driving under the influence of drugs.
Watson was caught driving a Vauxhall Mokka on Station Road, Llandovery on March 29.
He had 6.1 micrograms of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per litre of his blood when the legal limit is two micrograms. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol is found in the blood of people who have had cannabis.
As well as the ban and the curfew, Watson was ordered to pay a £90 surcharge to fund victim services and £85 for court costs.
