A DRINK-driver was caught out while more than three times the limit in a Ludlow road.
Robert Evans entered guilty pleas to one count of failing to surrender to police or court bail at the appointed time and one of driving while over the alcohol limit when he appeared before magistrates in Kidderminster in March.
The court heard from prosecutor Owen Beale that the 57-year-old had been caught out after getting behind the wheel of a blue Nissan Micra in Lower Galdeford, Ludlow, while over the drink-driving limit on March 3.

An evidential breath test revealed that he had 133 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, more than three times the legal limit of 35 microgrammes.
He had also failed to surrender to custody at Telford Magistrates' Court on March 21, having been released on bail in criminal proceedings by police in Shrewsbury on March 4.
The case was adjourned for sentencing and Evans, of Springfield Close, Ludlow, was released on unconditional bail.
He will appear before magistrates in Kidderminster for sentencing on May 5.
