A PEMBROKE man has been disqualified from driving, pending a sentence hearing in May, after pleading guilty to drug driving.
On November 7, 2024, Aaron Simpson, of Tenby Court, Monkton, drove a Nissan Sunny on the A477 Cleddau Bridge at Pembroke Dock when the proportion of a controlled drug, Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, in his blood was 5.2µg/l, exceeding the specified limit. In addition, at 796µg/l, the proportion of Benzoylecgonine in his blood also exceeded the specified limit.
He appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court where he pleaded guilty to the two charges.
The case was adjourned for a pre-sentence report to be prepared, and Simpson was remanded on unconditional bail until the next hearing, scheduled for May 13.
