Moray cannabis driver from Lossiemouth given road ban at Elgin Sheriff Court
A Moray motorist has been banned from the roads after the police detected the smell of cannabis coming from his car.
David Paton was pulled over on Lossiemouth Road in Elgin at about 10.30pm on Wednesday, September 18.
A preliminary test conducted at the roadside indicated the presence of the drug in his system so he was taken to the police station.
Here an official test was carried out at shortly before 11.30pm. This recorded a reading of 6.6 - more than three times the level at which the drug is held to hamper the ability to drive.
The 33-year-old, whose address was given in court papers as St Margaret’s Crescent, Lossiemouth, pleaded guilty at Elgin Sheriff Court.
He was banned from driving for a year and also fined £420.
