Chester Magistrates Court. A MAN caught riding an e-scooter in Chester while twice the drink-drive limit has appeared before magistrates in court today (Tuesday, May 25). Jake Nellany, 22, pleaded guilty to riding his friend's e-scooter in Chester on the night of May 5, while he was over the limit and while banned from driving. He also pleaded guilty to resisting a police officer. However, defence solicitor Marcus Johnstone said the pleas to the riding were under "special reasons", on the basis of "triviality". A 'special reasons' hearing will take place later this year before District Judge Nicholas Sanders, which will rule on the merits of the defence case, with Nellany, of Ashburn Close, Barrow, to be sentenced later.
