A man from Wem has been banned from driving temporarily after he admitted drug-driving.
Owen Lear-Jones was given the interim disqualification by a district judge pending a sentencing hearing later this month.
The 24-year-old, of Lowe Hill Road, pleaded guilty at Telford Magistrates' Court on Tuesday (May 27).
MOST READ:
The court was told that Lear-Jones had been driving a black Ford Focus on Lowe Hill Road on January 18, this year, when he was found to have 8.9 micrograms of Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - the active ingredient in cannabis - per litre of blood.
The legal limit is two micrograms.
He also admitted damaging a custody cell wall at Shrewsbury Police Station on May 8, at last week's hearing.
District Judge Ian Barnes told Lear-Jones the sentencing hearing would take place at the court on June 11 to allow it to tie up with other cases.
Lear-Jones was granted unconditional bail until that date.
