A DRUG-DRIVER was caught behind the wheel on a main road in Herefordshire, a court has heard.

Richard James Morgan admitted drug-driving when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford on February 3.

The court heard Morgan had been caught driving a blue Peugeot 107 on the A44 at Monkland on June 14.

An evidential blood test revealed the 46-year-old had 657 microgrammes of cocaine metabolite benzoylecgonine per litre of blood. The legal limit is 50.

Morgan, of Pierrepont Road, Leominster, was disqualified from driving for 12 months and fined £120. He must also pay a £34 victim surcharge.
