Drink-driver in golf buggy

A DRUNKEN guest at a hotel ball took a golf buggy, tied 20 balloons to it, and drove for 12 miles.

Charlie Ibbetson, 23, was caught when he stopped at a McDonald’s. He told police he “needed it to get home to bed”.

He drove from Whittlebury Hall, Northants, to Weedon along the A5.

Ibbetson, of Daventry, admitted drink-driving, no insurance and taking a vehicle. He was banned for a year and fined £648 by Northampton magistrates.
