A DRIVER has been disqualified for 20 months after admitting drug driving.

Krys Ritson, 33, of Michael Street, Whitehaven, admitted driving his Toyota Yaris in the town on July 19 last year while under the influence of drugs.

He was found to have Benzoylecgonine in his system - the compound used to test for cocaine.

Ritson was banned from driving for 20 months, ordered to complete 100 hours' unpaid work, and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £95 and costs of £85.
