Tadley motorist Carlton Pike drove in Newbury after taking cocaine

A MAN has been warned he could face a custodial sentence for drug-driving.

Carlton Pike appeared in the dock at Reading Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, November 6.

The 30-year-old, of Huntsmoor Road, Tadley, admitted driving a red Peugeot on Harbury Court, Newbury, on February 14 when the amount of the Class A-controlled drug cocaine in his system exceeded the specified limit.

Magistrates ordered pre-sentence reports.

They stipulated these should be prepared on an ‘all options’ basis including, potentially, custody.

Pike, who was legally represented by Robert Jacques, was meanwhile released on unconditional bail.
