A MAN has been sentenced for drink driving in Reading.

Jake Sackman, of Hawkedon Way, Lower Earley, was found guilty of the offence on Wednesday, April 26.

The 27-year-old was given a £1,000 fine, disqualified from driving for a year and ten months and ordered to pay £1090 in costs.

He was caught on April 9 last year when officers received a report from the Oracle security reporting a man was potentially drink driving.

Officers stopped the car and Sackman failed a roadside breath test.

Investigating officer, PC Matthew Fairman, based at Reading police station, said: “I am pleased that with this outcome Sackman has been taken off the roads.

“He thought he'd chance driving home that night but luckily, the vigilant members of The Oracle in Reading decided to call Police after suspecting he was drunk.

“He was not in any state to drive and rightfully has been banned from driving. Even driving around a car park, such as The Oracle is still against the law when you are over the prescribed alcohol limit.”
