Man drove over cocaine limit

A man who pleaded guilty to drug driving and public order offences has been fined a total of £1,000.

Joshua Samuels, of Erin Way in Port Erin, appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

The 33-year-old admitted drug driving after crashing his car in Ballasalla last July - tests showed he was three times over the legal limit for cocaine.

He also admitted two public order offences after abusing staff at Subway in Port Erin as he waited for his sandwich - threatening to "smash the place up".

As well as a fine, he was banned from the roads for two years and ordered to pay £125 costs.
