Driver stopped in Falkirk was five times over legal limit

A drunk driver was stopped by police who noticed him driving erratically and swerving all over the road.

Steven Garriock (46) was over five times the legal drink driving limit when he was spotted in Lionthorn Estate and Slammannan Road.

Appearing at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday, Garriock admitted the offence he committed on December 8 last year. He gave a reading of 113 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, when the legal limit is 22 microgrammes.
