A 57 year old man from Coventry was arrested at 02.40hours on 21 August on suspicion of drink driving on The Parade in Leamington Spa when officers saw him driving a white Vauxhall Vivaro and stopped him due to a moving traffic offence.  He was later charged with failing to provide a specimen for analysis and is due to appear at Coventry Magistrates Court at 13.30hours on 30 September.
