Admitted driving whilst unfit through drugs
A Port Erin man who took ketamine and cannabis before getting behind the wheel and almost crashing will be sentenced in December.
Thirty-two-year-old Liam Thomas Brown, of Ballakilley Close, appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.
He pleaded guilty to a single charge of driving whilst unfit through drugs on 1 July.
Prosecution advocate Barry Swain told the hearing police officers were on patrol in Gansey when they spotted Brown's Ford Mondeo weaving across the road as it headed towards Castletown.
Just before 6.30pm that evening officers watched as Brown swerved over the centre white lines and clipped a kerb.
A few hundred yards later he mounted the pavement, and narrowly avoided hitting a stone wall, before veering back out onto the wrong side of the road again.
He was stopped and arrested telling officers he felt drowsy because he'd taken medication.
Tests later showed he had six times the UK's legal ketamine limit in his bloodstream.
Magistrates bailed him to appear in court again on 9 December.
