Knife, Booze and Cannabis Found After Drunk Driver Caught in Nottingham
Police swooped on a man driving erratically through Nottingham city centre in the early hours. Officers on patrol spotted the dodgy driving on Mansfield Road at about 3:35am on Wednesday, November 30.
When stopped, the car reeked of cannabis. A quick search uncovered two knives, a bottle of whiskey, and cannabis inside the vehicle. The driver also failed a roadside breathalyser test.
36-Year-Old Man Arrested on Multiple Charges
The 36-year-old was hauled in on suspicion of possession of a bladed article, drink-driving, drug-driving, and possession of a Class B drug.
“Thanks to the alertness of our officers, two dangerous weapons have been taken off the streets,” said Detective Sergeant Al Roper from Nottinghamshire Police.
“It should go without saying – carrying knives in public or driving under the influence puts lives at risk. There’s no excuse.”
Police Appeal for Witnesses
Police are still investigating and urge anyone with information to call 101 and quote incident 52 of 30 November 2022.
