Fear, Flight, and the Law | Sheffield News
Description
A 40-year-old man, Callum Brown, found himself in legal trouble after admitting to driving over the alcohol limit—but claiming it was due to a terrifying pub assault. Chased down the street, he said he felt stranded and panicked, eventually getting behind the wheel. Police pulled him over around 9:30 AM on June 24th on Bradford Road in Huddersfield. He was later hospitalized for facial injuries and tested over the limit five hours later. His lawyer argued he was acting out of fear, not recklessness. Magistrates heard his plea and postponed sentencing until November 16th—showing how panic can collide with the law.
