Other offences included common assault, criminal damage, ABH and drink driving, according to police.

A Sussex Police spokesperson said, “Not only can driving under the influence of drink or drugs be extremely dangerous and affect your driving; alcohol and drug drivers put their and other people’s lives at risk.
