Annaghmore man banned from driving for 16 months

An Annaghmore man has been banned from the roads for driving whilst unfit.

Jacob Richardson (22), of Derrycoose Road, also admitted failing to provide a preliminary breath sample and an evidential sample.

A prosecutor told Craigavon Magistrates’ Court that on November 2 this year the defendant’s vehicle hit two parked vehicles in Portadown.

There was a strong smell of intoxicating liquor and the defendant was unsteady on his feet.

He failed to provide samples and was “belligerent” with police.

He had no record.

A defence lawyer said the defendant had been at a “golf event” and made a “foolish” decision to drive instead of getting a taxi.

The damage to the vehicles has been paid for.

As well as a 16 months driving ban the defendant was fined £300.
