Asda delivery driver refused breath test after being pulled over while at work

A supermarket delivery driver refused to provide a breath sample after being pulled over while at work.

Asda worker, Marc Fenwick, had been watching the Anthony Joshua boxing fight with friends on August 20 and admitted to drinking "more than he should have". The following day, the 37-year-old went to work but was reported to police as a suspected suspected drink driver as he travelled through the Longbenton area, a court heard.

Officers located Fenwick in his Asda delivery van and noted it appeared to be swerving in the road, prosecutors said. Fenwick was pulled over and arrested after he failed a roadside breath test, giving a reading of 80mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath, when the legal limit is 35mcg.
