Hi there
I was charged with driving on 21st September 2022.
Charges include
Driving in charge unfit through drink /drugs.
Driving excess alcohol
Driving excess drugs
Drunk in charge of a child under 7
Breath result 127ug/100ml
Police also took bloods for analysis.
Took mouth swab for drugs - negative.
Following day took mouth swab for cocaine/opiates - negative.
Why does my charge sheet say driving excess drugs when result was negative?
Will I be subject to custodial sentence for drunk in charge of child under 7?
What is maximum sentence/fine/community service order I could face?
 
Good afternoon,

I cannot say why you have been charged with drugs offences, other than that they may have a positive blood result. The mouth swab would be irrelevant to this.

As to the other offences, yes custody is an option for the Court but I cannot say what will happen as it depends on a number of factors. Given the serious nature of these offences you need to immediately instruct a lawyer who will begin working upon your case and hopefully before you are sentenced they will be able to give you a better idea as to what will happen.

Best regards
Martin.
