A WORCESTER man was caught drink-driving after jumping a red light.

Lee Stanyard, aged 25, of Rydal Close, Warndon, was caught with 59mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath – the legal limit is 35mcg.

Stanyard admitted drink-driving when he appeared at Worcester Magistrates Court.

Sarah Stock, prosecuting, said Stanyard was stopped by police at 3.40am on Friday, April 22, after they suspected him of jumping a red light in Lowesmoor.

Gary Harper, defending, said Stanyard had been out with friends and made the “silly” decision to drive home.

Stanyard was fined £300 and disqualified for 40 months. He was ordered to pay £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
