A 22-year-old has been charged with drink-driving after officers witnessed him ‘leave the pub car park’ before allegedly providing a sample nearly three times over the limit.

Louis Manfredi, of Ruthyn Avenue in Barlborough, was pulled over by officers from Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit between Barlborough and Clowne on Sunday.

Manfredi will appear before Chesterfield Magistrates’ Court at a later date.
