A Barmouth man has been banned from the road for 14 months after being found guilty of drink driving.

Neil Sheehan, of Weavers Croft, Jubilee Road, appeared before Caernarfon Magistrates’ Court for trial on 4 November.

At a hearing in April the 60-year-old pleaded not guilty to drink driving in a Bentley on the A487 at Garndolbenmaen on 23 November last year.

The court heard that Sheehan had 42 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.

The legal limit is 35 microgrammes.

Sheehan was found guilty following the trial and was disqualified from driving for 14 months and fined £576.

He must also pay £650 costs and a £230 surcharge.
