Thurso repeat drug-driver warned ‘all options open’ to sheriff

A Thurso woman who notched up her second drug-driving offence was warned by a sheriff that "all sentencing options" would be open to him when the accused returns to court.

Shannon McPhee pleaded guilty at Wick Sheriff Court, on Wednesday, when Sheriff Neil Wilson called for a background report.

McPhee (33) failed a roadside drug test after being stopped by police in Janet Street, Thurso, on June 29. A subsequent test revealed a reading of 322 mcg for benzoylecgonine - more than six times the legal limit is 50 mcg.

McPhee, of Springpark Terrace, Thurso, will be sentenced on December 23.
