A drink-driver was arrested by officers this morning – after driving erratically along a major Chesterfield A-road.

On Friday, September 2, the Derbyshire Road Crime Unit reported that they had spotted a Mini Cooper veering between both lanes on the A61.

Officers stopped the driver and quickly established that they were drunk. The motorist provided a roadside reading of 61 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath – with the legal limit being 35.
