Hungerford motorist Josiah Ingham convicted of failing to provide blood specimen

A SUSPECTED drink-driver who denied failing to provide a specimen has been convicted of the offence.

Josiah Ingham had pleaded not guilty to failing to provide a blood specimen for laboratory analysis at Loddon Valley Police Station on Monday, May 6, when suspected of having committed an offence.

But he was convicted following a trial at Reading Magistrates’ Court on Friday, October 4.

The 65-year-old, of Priory Avenue, Hungerford, was fined £184.

No order was made for costs because of his lack of means but Ingham, who was legally represented by Claire Reid, was instructed to pay a statutory victim services surcharge of £74.

Finally, he was banned from driving for 12 months.
