A Wigan man was found in a car while over the drink-drive limit twice in six days.

A suspended prison sentence and three-year ban was handed to a Wigan man who was twice caught in a car while over the drink-drive limit.

Kieron Malone, 51, of The Crescent, Ince, pleaded guilty to being in charge of an Audi A3 on Shelley Street, Leigh on May 24 while over the legal alcohol limit.

He had 123mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath, which was three and a half times the limit of 35mcg.

He also admitted driving the same car while over the limit - this time with 122mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath - and without insurance on the car park at Aldi in Hindley Green on May 30.

Wigan magistrates imposed an eight-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, as well as 12 months of alcohol treatment and a 36-month driving disqualification.

He must pay £85 prosecution costs.
