WHEN an off-duty police officer saw sparks coming from the rear tyre of a red Volvo on the A48 near Carmarthen, he immediately called 999.

The driver, Gavin Wilkes, 41, was later found to be over the legal drink-drive limit.

At Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court, Wilkes, of Upright Villas, Arlington Terrace, Braunton, pleaded guilty to drink-driving.

Breath tests revealed 66 mcg of alcohol in his system; the legal limit is 35.

Represented by solicitor Liam Francis, Wilkes was described as being ‘embarrassed’ and aware that his actions could cost him his employment.

Wilkes was disqualified from driving for 18 months, fined £400, and ordered to pay a £160 court surcharge and £85 costs.
