A JEDBURGH man who admitted a drink driving offence has been banned from the roads for 12 months at the town’s sheriff court.
Sean Cramond, 24, pleaded guilty to the offence, which happened in Castlegate, Jedburgh, on the night of March 13.
Prosecutor India McLean told how the accused had been out with friends but an argument had developed and he left them.
She said he got into his car and drove off in the direction of his home a short distance away.
Police were contacted and when they caught up with him, he accepted he had been drinking alcohol.
Cramond pleaded guilty to a charge of driving with a breath/alcohol count of 57 microgrammes – the legal limit being 22.
In addition to the disqualification period, he was ordered to carry out 70 hours of unpaid work.
