A Salisbury man's been banned from driving for three years after admitting taking cannabis before getting behind the wheel.

23-year-old Danny Mugridge, from Partridge Way, failed a roadside drugs test after he was stopped on Castle Road in December last year.

He was then taken into custody where a further blood test showed he was over the accepted level of two micrograms of cannabis per litre of blood.

The 23-year-old appeared at Salisbury Magistrates Court on Friday 23rd June and pleaded guilty to drug driving.

He was disqualified from driving for three years, fined £400 and ordered to pay a further £125 in surcharges and costs.
