The case against a Llanidloes man who denied a charge of being in charge of a car while above the alcohol limit has been dismissed following a trial date.

Colin Gledrie, of 17 Hafrenydd, Highgate Street, stood trial at Welshpool Magistrates’ Court on 20 April.

At a hearing in December, the 67-year-old denied being in charge of a motor vehicle while above the alcohol limit near Llanidloes on 17 November last year.

The case was dismissed with no evidence offered at the hearing.
