A drink driver has been jailed after being caught twice in six months.
Police were on patrol in Cambridge at around 11am on 27 January when they pulled over a silver Mercedes C220 in Glenmere Close.
The driver, Stefan Hreniuc, admitted to drinking ‘100mls of vodka’ that morning and blew 111ug at the roadside, more than three times the legal limit of 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath. He went on to give an evidential reading of 75 in custody.
In September Hreniuc, 39, of Fen Road, Cambridge, was given a four-month suspended sentence and disqualified from driving for 25 months after also being caught more than three times the limit (111ug) in July.
At Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on Monday (29 January), Hreniuc was jailed for four months and four weeks after pleading guilty to driving while disqualified, drink driving and using a passenger vehicle with tyres with insufficient tread.
He was also disqualified from driving for three years and three months.
PC Andy Holliday, who investigated, said: “Hreniuc has shown total disregard for the sentences imposed on him by the courts and continued to put himself and other road users in danger.
“The sentence reflects the seriousness of Hreniuc’s actions.”
The force operates a dedicated, confidential hotline, 0800 032 0845, which is available 24/7 and provides the public with the chance to provide information about anyone they think may be driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.”
