A HEREFORDSHIRE man has been fined after admitting drug driving.
Ian Jennings, of Dovecote Lane, Credenhill, was driving a white Vauxhall Astra van in Munstone Road on April 5 when he was stopped by police due to appearing not to have any insurance.
He was taken to the police station when toxicology results came back positive for Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (2.1 micrograms per 100 millilitres of blood) and Benzoylecgonine (244ug/l), the main products of cannabis and cocaine respectively.
