Man with leg in plaster arrested for drink driving

Police who saw a car broken down in the middle of a junction were stunned to find the driver was drunk and had a plaster cast on his leg.

Bogdan Litwicki was driving his friends around, even though he had an injured ankle and could only walk with crutches.



Litwicki, 47, hobbled into the dock at Perth Sheriff Court to admit driving in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, while he was nearly three times the limit last Sunday.

Solicitor David Holmes, defending, said hapless Litwicki had fallen off a ladder and broken his ankle shortly after moving to Scotland and landing a cleaning job. Litwicki, of Blairgowrie, was banned for 18 months and fined £600.
