An article posted on the Leicester Mercury’s website details the arrest of a drink driver in Leicester recently.
According to the Leicester Mercury police lay in wait for drink-driver Nigel Jacobs when he pulled out of a pub car park.
Reportedly the officers had been tipped off that he had been drinking and was about to get behind the wheel.
A court heard officers followed Jacobs from the car park of the Greyhound pub, in Great Glen. He was stopped after a short distance as Jacobs' car was swerving across the A6 near the village.
Prosecutor Morag Lawrie told Harborough magistrates that Jacobs failed a roadside breath test.A second test at a police station revealed an alcohol level of 133mg per 100mls of breath. The legal limit is 35mg.
Jacobs (48), of Bramall Road, off Uppingham Road, Leicester, pleaded guilty to driving while over the legal alcohol limit on June 9.
He was banned from driving for three years.
Jacobs said he had started drinking after his wife died in September last year. He was also placed on a two-year community order with the condition of attending a drink impaired driver's programme.
