A motorist stopped in Milford by police has been given a 12 month driving ban after testing positive for cannabis.

Twenty-three-year-old Craig Musgrove of Highlands Avenue, Haverfordwest, appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court on Tuesday to admit a charge of driving his Honda Civic motor vehicle with a quantity of the drug in his blood.

Prosecutor Abul Hussain told the court that police officers on duty pulled Mr. Musgrove over in Milford Haven on November 22 of last year for a routine stop check.

“The roadside test proved positive for cannabis and Mr. Musgrove was taken to the police station where a further blood test was taken,” he explained.

Defence solicitor Mark Layton told the court that the facts were accepted and it was a relatively low reading.

Magistrates disqualified Mr. Musgrove from driving for 12 months, and fined him £120 for the offence.

He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £85 and a £30 victim surcharge.
