Deeping St James man facing trial for drink-driving charge – but admits assaulting police officers

A 27-year-old man from Deeping St James will stand trial on a charge of drink-driving.

Appearing at Boston Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, Callum Reed pleaded not guilty to the offence.

It’s said to have occurred at The Precincts in Market Deeping on June 18.

A breath test in custody gave a reading of 80 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35.

Reed did plead guilty to three counts of assaulting police officers, driving a Nissan Cabstar with a load secured dangerously, and failing to report an accident in Godsey Lane, Market Deeping.

Those matters arose out of the same incident as the drink-drive allegation.

A trial on the denied matter was set for October 10.

Sentencing for the admitted offences will follow after its conclusion.

Reed, of Curlew Walk, was granted unconditional bail.
