A drink driver who had two empty bottles of whisky and a half empty bottle of rum in his car has kept his licence.

3\9 year old James Wilson was approached by officers from Cambridgeshire Police the car park of Tesco in Cromwell Road in Wisbech in October.

He ran and was arrested after a short foot chase.

Wilson was found to be more than double the legal limit and had two empty bottles of Jack Daniels, a half empty bottle of Captain Morgans, and a flask containing alcohol in his car.

Wilson of Church Road in Wisbech was fined £200 and had 10 points added to his licence. He admitted to being in charge of a motor vehicle while drunk.

PC Jude Easter, who investigated, said: “Wilson has been given a second chance by the courts, but if he is found committing further driving offences, he could face being banned from driving.

“Thanks to the member of the public who called us with their concerns as we were able to arrest Wilson before he could cause harm to himself or other road users.”
