Evidence eaten

A motorist tried to escape a drink-driving ban by eating the paper slip with his breath-test results on, magistrates in Chatham, Kent were told. Paul Wadham, 29, from Upchurch, Rochester, was banned from driving for three years, fined pounds 40 for having no insurance, ordered to pay pounds 35 costs and told to do 240 hours community service for obstructing a police officer, drink-driving, and driving while disqualified.
