A carpenter was caught drink-driving after attempting to "unwind" at the pub following some distressing news. Wesley Brearton got behind the wheel of his Audi Q5 after a Bridgend town centre drinking session.
Wearing a smart dark suit the 43-year-old dad-of-three appeared on Friday at Cardiff Magistrates' Court. Prosecutor Ann Griffiths said: "During the evening of Wednesday, July 13, a report was made that a male had driven from a pub in Market Street and was seen to stop outside a takeaway. He then drove down Market Street and officers pursued him. He was on his own."
Brearton, who has no previous convictions, was stopped by police and blew 64mg of alcohol per 100ml of breath. The legal limit for driving is 35mg.
