Driver crashes into property after bottomless brunch

A drink-driver who crashed into the front of a property after going to a bottomless brunch has been sentenced.

Lindami Mremi, 22, sped on to the driveway of a home in Robin's Wood Road, Aspley, Nottingham, causing more than £4,500 of damage.

Nottingham Crown Court heard Mremi had earlier been to a bottomless brunch with friends and wrongly thought he could absorb the alcohol by eating through the evening, Nottinghamshire Police said.

A positive roadside breath test recorded 81 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath - more than twice the legal limit of 35 micrograms.

Mremi, of Newmarket Road, Bulwell, admitted drink-driving, dangerous driving and a Bail Act offence.

He was given a 24-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, and a 12-month driving ban.

He must also pay £1,800 compensation and complete up to 20 rehabilitation activity requirement days.
