Prosecutors claim man had 'cocktail of drugs' in system after getting behind the wheel

Prosecutors claim a man had a cocktail of drugs in his system after getting behind the wheel.

Samuel Joshua Lewin of Stanley Mount in Ramsey appeared before High Bailiff Jayne Hughes at Douglas Courthouse.

The 28 year old admitted having a dangerous vehicle and one count of driving whilst unfit, while denying another.

Prosecutor Rebecca Cubbon told the hearing police stopped Lewin at around 7.30pm on February 4 after members of the public reported his driving.

The court heard Lewin could barely keep his eyes open when officers spoke to him - he was arrested and drug tests proved positive for 10 different drugs.

Mrs Hughes bailed him in the sum of £500 on condition he doesn’t drive, and he’ll appear in court again on July 20.
