A Humberside police officer has been convicted of drink driving and carrying a knife in a public place.
PC Jamie Tyler-Jones, from Grimsby, was stopped by uniformed colleagues as he drove a Ford Mondeo on a public bridleway in Aylesby near Laceby on 18th October 2017.
Due to his demeanour the officers had cause to require Tyler-Jones to provide a roadside specimen of breath, which provisionally indicated he was over the drink drive limit. He was arrested and taken to a police station where he provided an evidential specimen of breath containing 87 mcg of alcohol in 100 ml of breath, which exceeded the prescribed limit of 35 mcg.
On the same occasion Tyler-Jones was found in possession of a lock knife, contrary to section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988.
Tyler-Jones was sentenced for both offences at Grimsby Magistrates' Court, having earlier pleaded guilty.
He was fined a total of £300 and disqualified from driving for 20 months. He was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £30 and costs of £150.
A Humberside Police misconduct panel will convene at the Old Magistrates Court in Goole at 1 pm on Tuesday, 4th December 2018.
Update: Tyler-Jones was found guilty of gross misconduct and dismissed from Humberside Police with immediate effect.
