A brazen drink driver was caught after he made the foolish decision to pull up outside a police station to pick up an arrested friend.
Michael Logue was initially thought to be a cabbie when he was spotted in his Ford Puma outside Forth Banks, in Newcastle. However, when approached by an officer, it soon became apparent he was drunk and he was asked to switch his car's engine off.
A court heard that the 41-year-old immediately began to reverse in a bid to make off but was stopped when the constable stood in his path. Logue then repeatedly refused to get out the car until back-up officers arrived and he was taken inside the police station and arrested.
