A NEYLAND driver has been banned after failing to provide a blood specimen for analysis.

Shannon Riley, age 26, of Springfield Close, appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on November 3 for sentencing, having pleaded guilty to the charge on October 6.

On August 22 at Neyland, when suspected of having driven a vehicle under the influence of either drugs or alcohol and having been required to provide a specimen of blood for a laboratory test, the defendant failed to do so ‘without reasonable excuse’.

Riley was given a year-long community order, fined £120 and disqualified from driving for 36 months, starting from October 6 when an interim disqualification had been put in place.

Costs to Crown Prosecution Service amounted to £85, plus a surcharge of £114.
