A MAN has been sent to prison after being caught almost four times over the drink-drive limit.

Dawid Mazur, of Laburnum Road in Northwich, was driving in Crewe on December 10 when he provided a reading of 130 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - the legal limit is 35.

The 40-year-old was also found to be driving with no insurance and driving while already disqualified.

Magistrates at Chester Magistrates Court handed him an 18-week sentence on Monday because of his previous record, but did take his guilty plea into account.

Mazur was also disqualified from driving for 10 years.
