A drink driver who crashed his BMW into a wall on Wheeler Avenue has been banned from driving for 16 months and ordered to pay £419.
Michael Vincent Bown, of Wheeler Avenue, pleaded guilty to driving whilst unfit through drink and failing to stop after a road accident at Swindon Magistrates' Court.
The 31-year-old didn't stop after damaging the wall of 117 Wheeler Avenue when he hit it with his car on May 2.
He has been fined £300 for drink driving and has to pay £34 for victim services and £85 to the CPS.
His driving licence has been endorsed and he is disqualified from driving for 16 months but this could be reduced by 16 weeks if he completes a course approved by the Secretary of State.
