Southampton Magistrates’ Court heard that his truck had been spotted driving along nearby Spaniards Lane the same day. Then on May 27, the 35-year-old was stopped on a petrol station in North Baddesley by community police officers. According to Test Valley Borough Council, when Cooper was asked to produce his licence he refused to answer any questions.
