Cheryl Gerrard, 42, of Marbury Gardens, appeared at Chester Magistrates Court on Tuesday, August 11. Gerrard pleaded guilty to three counts of driving a vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit. The defendant said she had taken cocaine and cannabis ‘the night before, at a friend’s birthday party’. On the day of the offences, she had ‘felt okay’ to drive and hadn’t realised that the drugs would still be in her system. Chair Roy Barron told Gerrard that magistrates could ‘see you’re remorseful’ but driving with drugs in her system was ‘putting other people at risk’.
