Bishop Auckland man drove in Shildon while banned from driving
Rickie Rowell, 24, of Hilton Road, Bishop Auckland, admitted driving while disqualified and without insurance on June 28, 2025, on Jubilee Road and Laurel Court in Shildon, County Durham.
Newton Aycliffe Magistrates’ Court heard Rowell drove a Honda Civic although he was already banned from driving.
On June 10 magistrates sentenced him to 12 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, due to what the court described as his “flagrant disregard for people and their property”.
Rowell must also complete 100 hours of unpaid work, attend up to 10 days of rehabilitation activity as directed, and follow instructions from a responsible officer for 12 months.
He was disqualified from driving for an additional 12 months.
Rowell must also pay £200 in costs to the Crown Prosecution Service.
His guilty pleas were taken into account when sentencing.
