Drink Driving Nightmare Ends Behind Bars
Jason Povey, who has no fixed address, pleaded guilty yesterday at Salisbury Magistrates’ Court to a string of offences: aggravated car theft, driving while banned, uninsured driving, and refusing to provide a breath specimen.
He was handed a four-month prison sentence and banned from the road for just over four years.
Chaos on the Streets
Things started on Monday night (13/10) when a member of the public spotted a suspected drink driver in Oatfields, Trowbridge.
He was charged, remanded into custody, and now faces a lengthy driving ban alongside jail time.
Police Slam Reckless Behaviour
PC Layton from the Volume Crime Team said: “There is no excuse for Povey’s actions. Choosing to drive intoxicated is unacceptable and we take it very seriously. Thankfully, no one was hurt that night. We will not tolerate this behaviour and will keep prosecuting for the fatal five offences.”
