A HEREFORDSHIRE Audi driver has been banned from the roads after he was caught out drink-driving.
Anthony Norman Sparrow entered a guilty plea to one count of driving a vehicle while above the alcohol limit when he appeared before magistrates in Merthyr Tydfil in March after entering a not guilty plea at an earlier hearing.
The court heard from the prosecutor that the 37-year-old had been caught out behind the wheel of a silver Audi A6 on the B4954 at Newchurch, Painscastle, while over the drink-drive limit on December 7.

An evidential breath test revealed that he had 64 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35 microgrammes.
Sparrow, of Shelwick, Herefordshire, was fined £945 for the offence and disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence for 20 months.
He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £300 and a £378 victim surcharge.
