Bail for gran, 54, arrested on suspicion of drink-driving on Telford school run
A grandmother who was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving – without insurance – as she dropped off her grandchildren off at a school in Telford has been released on bail.
Police said the 54-year-old was allegedly more than four times over the drink-drive limit when she was arrested yesterday morning outside Wrockwardine Wood Infant School.
Officers ran checks on the red Toyota car and reported that she was allegedly driving without insurance.
They said the grandmother then blew a breath test reading of 145 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath – the legal limit is 35 microgrammes.
West Mercia Police have said she has been released on bail until April 9 while enquiries continue.
