Sean Hills, 36, was pulled over by police in Stonehaven on Monday just minutes after a witness filmed him driving erratically on the A90 Aberdeen to Dundee road.

He appeared from custody at Aberdeen Sheriff Court yesterday where he admitted a charge of dangerous driving on various roads in Aberdeenshire and driving while unfit through drink or drugs.

Hills, of Stonehaven, repeatedly drifted across both lanes of A90 dual carriageway in a BMW 4x4 - at one point colliding with a verge near his hometown.

He then turned off the A90 to go down the narrow Den of Logie entrance to Stonehaven where he was seen crossing double white lines in the middle of the road.

He ended up near the busy town centre and was seen going up on the pavement - narrowly missing parked cars - before a police patrol car stopped him.

Both offences were committed while Hills was on bail from Aberdeen Sheriff Court on August 26, 2013.

His defence solicitor Andrew Ormiston said his client had underlying issues with alcohol and depression.

Fiscal depute Karen Dow made a motion for seizure of Hills’ vehicle which was granted by Sheriff Christopher Shed.

Sentence was deferred on Hills until next month for the preparation of reports and he was released on bail.

He is disqualified from driving in the meantime.
