A HEREFORD man's case has been adjourned after he denied drug-driving on a busy Herefordshire main road.

Alexander Kalwaites entered a not guilty plea when he appeared before a district judge at Kidderminster Magistrates' Court.

District judge Ian Strongman heard that the 23-year-old is accused of driving a grey Audi TTS on the A49 at The Callow in Herefordshire while over the drug-drive limit, with 3.7 microgrammes of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, a product of class B controlled drug cannabis, per litre of blood. The legal driving limit is two microgrammes.

OTHER NEWS:

The case was adjourned to allow the defence to serve an expert report and any other material they wish to rely on and for the Crown Prosecution Service to serve any other material they wish to rely on.

Kalwaites, who is of Eggleton Lane, Holmer, was given unconditional bail and will appear before magistrates in Kidderminster next for a case management hearing on February 8.
