A South Tyneside man is walking a tightrope with his liberty after being given his second prison let off in a month.
-
Craig Crabtree, 36, walked free after being handed a suspended prison term by a court on Wednesday, September 3, for a knife offence.
The sentence compelled Crabtree, of George Scott Street, The Lawe, South Shields, to stay out of trouble for 12 months or risk being jailed for eight weeks.
But on Tuesday, September 16, police found him sitting in the driver's seat of a car while three times the drink-drive limit, borough magistrates heard.
His Vauxhall Corsa was parked across Chichester Road, also South Shields, and Crabtree was fiddling with the ignition.
