A drink-driver was found to be wearing just a dressing gown and trainers when he was stopped travelling on a Newcastle road.
Dad-of-Four John Gorman was spotted by officers travelling in excess of the speed limit and weaving across the central reservation of Ponteland Road, in Newcastle, while he was behind the wheel of a VW Jetta, a court was told. The 43-year-old was then pulled over and breathalysed when it was noted his "eyes were glazed" and he smelled of alcohol, prosecutors said.
Gorman was also only wearing a dressing gown and a pair of trainers when he spoke to the officers and confirmed he'd consumed a glass of wine some hours earlier. However, the alcohol was still in his system as he was arrested and failed a breath test.
