Drink Driver Who Crashed Banned & Fined

A drink driver has been banned from the roads for a year and fined £180 after his DNA was found on the airbag of his crashed car.

It ended up in a ditch on the A6, near to the Kibworth Tip, on January 20th and Police were called.

Leicester Magistrates heard Scott Goodwin, 40, of The Furlongs, Market Harborough, was detained by PC’s Paul Farrar and John Jephcott walking towards Market Harborough, but denied he was the driver.

The Court heard evidence from the officers, based at Market Harborough Police Station, and together with the forensic evidence, Goodwin was convicted of being more the twice the drink drive limit.

He was also ordered to pay £300 in costs and a £30 Victim Surcharge.
