Police woman smelt cannabis as car overtook her on M65 A SOLICITOR questioned a police officer s sensitivity after she claimed to have smelled cannabis as a car passed her on the M65 motorway.
Blackburn magistrates heard the driver was over the limit for cannabis but Gareth Price suggested a young man driving at 12.50am was an obvious target for the officer. The officer was driving on the motorway when her car was overtaken by the defendant s car and apparently she could smell cannabis, remarkable, said Mr Price. Phillip Sutton, 30, of Moss Hall Road, Accrington, pleaded guilty to drug driving. He was fined £323 with £85 costs and £34 victim surcharge and banned from driving for 12 months.

Clutching a quill and pots of ink, Philip Sutton ended his 421-day care home lockdown this week by heading out to do what has been impossible since the Covid pandemic began: observe something new and capture it on paper.
The 92-year-old Royal Academician, who built a reputation as one of Britain’s most celebrated colourist painters, has been confined to Harbour House, a Quaker care home in Dorset, since 9 March 2020 under government guidelines to protect vulnerable people.
Policies discouraging care home residents from going out have led to desperate complaints that people were in effect being imprisoned even as infection rates fell. And the rules have denied Sutton fresh landscapes, his regular long beach walks and the joy of unexpected encounters. But this week, he, and hundreds of thousands of others, were finally released from the longest of lockdowns.
