Unlicensed Driver Busted Drug Driving in Southampton
Aaron Cosgrove’s wild ride came to a crashing halt last November 25 in Lords Hill.
The 31-year-old was caught behind the wheel of an Audi A4 with cocaine and Benzoylecgonine—cocaine’s nasty breakdown product—in his blood. To make matters worse, Cosgrove doesn’t even have a driving licence.
Cosgrove Faces the Music in Court
At Southampton Magistrates’ Court, the Abercrombie Gardens man admitted:
- Two counts of drug driving
- One count of driving without a licence
- One count of driving without insurance
Penalty: Ban, Fine, and More
The court hit Cosgrove with a one-year driving ban and fined him just £54.
On top of that, he was slapped with a £95 victim surcharge and forced to cough up £40 court costs.
