A cab driver from Bury St Edmunds has been jailed for 18 months after being found guilty of drink driving while on the way to a school run. Promise Mayo, 46, was found to be four-times over the legal alcohol limit when police stopped him after noticing his vehicle swerving in the road. The court heard that he was on his way to a school — something Mayo’s defence team denied. As well as being found four times over the alcohol limit, Mayo also had a glass of alcohol in the front of his vehicle. After taking a breathalyser test, Mayo was found to have 158 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath. The legal limit is 35 micrograms. Norfolk & Suffolk Roads and Armed Police tweeted:
