Jason Robert Butter, of Maer Lane, Market Drayton, was among the first people in the country to be charged with driving a motor vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit after the law was introduced in March 2015.

Appearing at Telford Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, the 35-year-old again pleaded guilty to drug driving as well as driving while disqualified and using a motor vehicle on a road without third party insurance. After his arrest, his blood showed he had not less than 292 microgrammes per litre of blood of the cocaine marker BZE, the court was told. The legal limit is 50 microgrammes.
