Wick driver 13 times drug limit faces jail after having ‘no intention’ of doing work order

A Wick drug-driver is heading for a jail term after failing to start her unpaid work.

A warrant was issued at the town’s sheriff court for the arrest of Emma Campbell, who was said to “have no intention” of doing the work.

The 40-year-old was previously sentenced to 80 hours’ work after admitting driving with excess drugs, in Burn Street, Wick, on May 18, last year. She was found to have 600mcg of benzoylecgonine in her system – 13 times the legal limit of 50mcg. She was banned for a year.

Campbell, of Seaforth Avenue, Wick, breached the order by failing to contact her social worker and had not even attended the induction process for her community service.

The accused was warned, previously, that prison would be likely if she didn’t toe the line.

Issuing a warrant for Campbell’s arrest on Wednesday, Sheriff Neil Wilson said: “She has no intention whatsoever of doing the work and failed to comply with the chance I gave her, and has not turned up today.”
