Chitterne man sentenced after drink and drug driving
Hector Timoney-Canning, 21, pleaded guilty at Salisbury Magistrates Court last week.
The court heard that the Chitterne man was stopped by officers in Shrewton in the early hours of 24th November 2019 after driving through a police road closure.
It had been blocked due to a fatal collision.
Timoney-Canning was stopped and tested at the roadside where he failed a drugs wipe.
He was found to be three times over the legal limit for Benzoylecgonine, a breakdown product of cocaine.
He also pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis on the same day.
Meanwhile, when awaiting his court date, the 21 year-old was stopped in Amesbury town centre on 26th July 2020.
Officers had become suspicious of his driving and he subsequently failed a breath test, being three times over the legal alcohol limit.
Timoney-Canning has now been banned from driving for two years and ordered to complete a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement.
He's also been fined £705 and pay a further £175 in court costs.
