A POLISH man charged with a drink-driving offence after being stopped on Reckleford in Yeovil has had the case adjourned for an interpreter to be present.

Rafal Ryszard Szlarski, 22, of Queens Road, Bridgwater, appeared before South Somerset Magistrates charged with driving with excess alcohol and not in accordance with a licence on December 17.

The court proceedings had to be halted due to the defendant's lack of comprehension.

He was ordered to return to the court on January 20 when a Polish interpreter will assist him.

In the meantime he was given unconditional bail.
