Suspended sentence for Peterborough motorist caught drink driving for the third time

Davidis Butkevicius (31) of Kilham, Orton Goldhay, was driving a Jaguar X-Type on Lime Kiln Close on November 26 when he was stopped by police.

He was arrested, and later gave a breathalyser reading of 59 microgrammes (ugs) in 100 mililitres of breath. The legal limit is 35ugs.

He was also disqualified from driving at the time, and had no insurance.

Butkevicius appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court this week, where he was given a 12 week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months.

He was also ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work, take part in a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement for 20 days, pay a victim surcharge of £122 and costs of £625. He was also banned from driving for 40 months.

Kayia Gibbs (28) was also given a suspended jail sentence after admitting a string of offences including drink driving, and assaulting a police officer.

Gibbs, of Tennyson Road, Loughborough, was driving on Ermine Street, Alconbury in December. He gave a reading of 45ugs in 100ml of breath, and was also driving with no insurance and otherwise in accordance with a licence.

Along with the driving offences, he also admitted assaulting PC James Style, and using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour - and the offence was racially aggravated.

He was jailed for 12 weeks, suspended for 18 months, ordered to pay compensation of £120, and a victim surcharge of £122, and was banned from driving for 14 months. The ban can be reduced by 14 weeks if the drink drive rehabilitation course is completed by 19/10/20.
