The 36-year-old, who was driving a Peugeot 206, appeared in court on Monday (May 22) to admit one charge of driving with excess alcohol.

He was ordered by JPs to carry out 70 hours of work in the community. He was banned from driving for two years and two months and was told to complete a 15-day rehabilitation requirement. Buchanan was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £114 and costs of £85.

If he completes a drink-drive rehabilitation course his driving ban will be reduced by six months.
