A Northampton man has been jailed after being caught driving just two months after being banned for three years.

Jonathan Chapman was stopped behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Golf in Talbot Street, Abington, on July 9.

Northampton magistrates heard the 32-year-old, from Cherry Close in the town, had been disqualified in May over a drug-driving offence dating back to October 2020.

As well as the three months in jail, Chapman was hit with a new four-year ban until 2025 and ordered to pay a £128 surcharge to help fund victim services.
