Martin Bolton

Driver Martin Bolton, of North Denes, Lowestoft, was told by a judge he 'could have killed someone' as Norwich Magistrates Court heard of a drink-fuelled incident on Yarmouth Road, Lowestoft.

The court heard how Mr Bolton's car went onto the kerb and 'straddled the path', forcing the pedestrian to take avoiding action to avoid being struck.

District Judge Nicholas Watson, who said he could not recall dealing with someone with so much alcohol in their body, said a prison sentence was inevitable and jailed Bolton for 18 weeks. Bolton was also banned from driving for 36 months and nine weeks and ordered to pay a £115 victim surcharge.
