A 32-YEAR-OLD banned driver who was caught behind the wheel while under the influence of drugs will be sentenced next week.
Kevin Long of Parks Road admitted charges of driving while disqualified, driving without insurance and driving under the influence of drugs when he appeared before Cheltenham magistrates.
Long was stopped by Forest of Dean Neighbourhood Policing officers behind the wheel of an Audi A4 on Mitcheldean High Street last August.
Checks uncovered that he was driving while banned, and as a consequence, was also driving without insurance.
A blood test also revealed that the level of Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, the active compound in cannabis, was significantly above the legal limit,
The court adjourned the case to Tuesday, May 20, for a pre-sentence report.
