A MALDON man has been convicted of drink driving following Essex Police’s summer anti-drink and drug driving campaign.

William Stock, 21, of Shakespeare Drive, Maldon was arrested in Maldon High Street at 11.20pm on June 15. 

He has been disqualified from driving for 17 months, fined £230, and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £30 victim surcharge.

The campaign ran between June 1 and June 30 with a total of 107 people being arrested.

Essex Police is publishing the details and images of people convicted to act as a deterrent to other people considering doing it.

Adam Pipe, Casualty Reduction Manager, said: “Drink or drug driving is no laughing matter and those who do it put people’s lives at risk.

“We take a tough stance against it and I hope by publishing the details and pictures of those convicted, others will think again.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a little bit over the limit or a lot, drinking impairs your ability to control a vehicle or react to something in front of you.

“We will continue to bring drink and drug drivers to justice."
