Work order for Nairn drink-driver caught with knuckleduster near Spittal

A man who admitted drink-driving and being in possession of a knuckleduster in Caithness has been ordered to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work.

Jarvis Morrison (42) was also banned from driving for 18 months.

Wick Sheriff Court heard that Morrison was stopped by police two miles south of Spittal, on June 16 last year, when he failed a roadside breath test. A follow-up test revealed a reading of 61mcg - almost three times the legal limit of 22mcg.

The accused, of Sandown Farm Lane, Nairn, has an analogous conviction for drink-driving within a 10-year period.

The knuckleduster was forfeited.
