Hello
My husband on friday was out and about in his car as we have recently lost our dog and he was postering round the local area. He stopped at 2 pubs and had a 1/2 in each pub whilst handing out the posters. He then went to a local college and asked them to put a poster up to. After he left the lady he had spoke to shopped him to the police saying he smelt of beer and looked emotional (he is after loosing our much loved dog).
He drove home and had more drink in the house (at least 3 cans of cider). The police turned up over an hour later and breathalysed him and he read 90 in the house but then 78 at the police station.
The police confiscated all of the cans in our bin.
They have said they will somehow work out if he was over the limit at the time he was driving.
We are gutted he never has more than 1 pint if he drives and now it seems hes going to get banned for coming home and drinking in his own house.
He had also used mouthwash as he had got changed and was about to go along to the pub to watch the football, and he was questioned on why he had done that.
Hes never been in trouble with the police before. Hes now bailed until the beginning of August and can still drive for the time being.
Any advice? any similar stories to this. i always thought you had to be stopped behind the wheel, ive never heard anyone being done when they are inside their own home.
Thanks in advance
