Death Driver Still Using Cannabis

Court Date: Foames
A drug-driver, who served time for killing a mum-of-two he ran over, has again been convicted of another cannabis offence.

Billy Joseph Foames, 37, failed to learn the lessons from the tragedy and today appeared at Camberwell Green Magistrates Court.

He pleaded guilty to possessing a small amount of cannabis at The Rookery car park, Streatham Common on February 7.

Three years ago Foames, of Wigmore Road, Carshalton, was sentenced to 16 weeks imprisonment for driving while unfit through drugs and without insurance.

On that occasion he was arrested after running over mother-of-two Maria Bridge, 32, on Boxing Day, 2014 after smoking cannabis.

Today he was conditionally discharges for twelve months and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.
