A MALDON woman has been charged with drink driving.

Susan Wilsdon, 61, of Coach Lane, Maldon, was arrested on Saturday.

She was arrested on suspicion of drink driving on Green Lane, Althorne, at 7.40pm.

She will now appear in front of Chelmford Magistrates’ Court on July 25.

Susan Wilsdon was one of the 34 people arrested as part of Essex Police’s Summer Anti-Drunk and Drug Driving Campaign over the weekend.

The 29 men and five women were arrested on suspicion of drink of drug related offences between Friday and Sunday.

Adam Pipe, Casualty Reduction Manager at Essex Police, said: “I hope these arrests send out a clear message to drivers thinking about getting behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

“Our officers are out there and they will catch you.

“If you drink and/or take drugs, be warned – it really is only a matter of time before you’re arrested and put before the courts.”
