A DRUG-DRIVER was caught behind the wheel in Hereford when he was over three times the cocaine limit.
Nathaniel Mcclean, 37, of Wharf Lane, Solihull, had 32 micrograms (mg) of cocaine in his blood when police stopped him in Ledbury Road in Hereford.
The limit for cocaine is 10 mg.
He was driving a silver Volkswagen Golf in Ledbury Road on March 6 last year when he was caught, said prosecutor Megan Jewkes for the Crown Prosecution Service.

He admitted the offence and entered a guilty plea before Birmingham Magistrates’ Court this month.
Mcclean, who was represented in court by defence solicitor Mohamed Naser, was said to have had his guilty plea taken into account by magistrates.
Magistrates disqualified Mcclean from driving for 12 months and fined him £460. He also has to pay court costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £184. He must pay off his court bill by September 16.
