A DRIVER has been arrested and charged after allegedly reporting their car stolen to avoid a drink-driving charge.
Police officers said they tried to stop a suspected drink driver leaving a pub on Fulford Road on Thursday night, but the car did not stop and was later found abandoned.
The following day the vehicle was reported stolen, but the owner later admitted to being the driver and has since been charged with driving offences and wasting police time.
