The incident happened in The Parade on Monday March 26 at about 5pm.

Churchhill-Davies crashed the white Ford Transit van into the front of Bill’s.

Nobody was hurt during the incident.

When he was arrested, a breath test showed that Davies had 174 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - a reading described in the court report as “extremely high” and almost five times over the legal limit of 35 microgrammes.

It was for this reason, and the fact he had caused the crash, that he was jailed.
