A DRINK-driver has been convicted following Essex Police's summer #DriveSafeDriveSober campaign.

Reece Statham, 23, of Charles Pell Road in Colchester, was arrested at 12.05am on July 7.

He had been driving under the influence of alcohol in Hythe Hill.

He was disqualified from driving for 15 months, fined £300, and had to pay £85 in court costs and a £30 victim surcharge.

A total of 205 people were arrested during the campaign which highlighted how alcohol and drugs can impair your reactions when driving.
