Disqualified Driver Jailed

A man has been jailed after being caught twice behind the wheel when he was disqualified from driving.

Daniel Bates, 22, was stopped by Police in Husbands Bosworth in April and then in Desborough last month.

He failed a road-side test for drugs on the first occasion and was found in possession of cannabis on the second.

Bates, of Harrington Road, Desborough old, has been jailed for 24 weeks, handed a further 33-month driving ban and ordered to pay a surcharge to fund victim services of £128.

He admitted two charges of driving whilst disqualified, one count of drug-driving, one count of possession of cannabis and another of driving without insurance.
