Young Magherafelt motorist given interim driving disqualification on excess alcohol charge
A Magherafelt motorist was given an interim driving disqualification at the local magistrates court on a drink-driving charge.
Matthew Totten, aged 20, of Derramore Heights, faces charges of driving while having consumed excess alcohol, failing to stop for the police, and careless driving on April 7.
District Judge Conor Heaney imposed the interim disqualification on the basis of the defendant's guilty plea to excess alcohol.
He released Totten, on continuing bail, to appear again at Magherafelt Court on May 13 for attitude.
