Such was the amount Davies taken, there was still 65mg of cocaine and 800mg of Benzoylecgonine – a compound cocaine is broken down into – per litre of blood in his system. "This is six-and-a-half times and 16 times the respective limits for driving," the force said. The swipe was positive, and he was arrested on suspicion of drug driving. After blood samples were analysed, Davies appeared in court charged with two counts of driving when the proportion of a controlled drug in his blood exceeded the specified limit.
