A man suspected of drink driving has been charged and bailed to appear before Brighton magistrates next month.

William Frisk, 24, was arrested at 10.50pm on Wednesday 24 June after a crash in Carlton Terrace, Portslade.

He is one of 86 people to have been charged so far with offences during the annual June drink and drug driving crackdown by Sussex Police.

“People in Sussex can text officers on 65999 with the details of people they suspect of drink or drug driving or visit www.operationcrackdown.co.uk.

“You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
