Police patrol officers spotted Megan Patricia Jones behind the wheel of a Volvo in Moneybrook Way in Shrewsbury shortly after midnight on April 3 this year, and database checks found that the car was uninsured.
The officers pulled the car over and spoke to Jones, who cooperated with requests to provide blood samples. When the results of the tests came back they revealed levels of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, found in cannabis) and benzoylecgonine (BZE, a byproduct of cocaine) well over the legal threshold for driving.
