“At 3.50pm they saw the vehicle on Sutton Place. It was stationary at first but then drove off. Police illuminated their blue lights and the vehicle properly stopped. The defendant tested positive for cannabis.”

ones, of Bentley Road, Chell Heath, was arrested and taken to custody. He gave a blood sample which was analysed and it was found that he was over the legal limit.

Ms Hayers added: “Mr Jones was interviewed. He said he suffers from bad knees and buys cannabis to make cannabis butter at home for medicinal purposes, he rubs it on his knees.
