it comes after on 29 July, officers from the Rural Crime Taskforce were patrolling Long Marston when they witnessed Thompson stood on the pavement outside of a pub in Station Road appearing intoxicated.
As the officers turned their vehicle around, Thompson drove off in a black Ford Ranger.
PC Ryan Dollery, of the Rural Crime Taskforce, said: “Thompson chose to risk driving the three minute walk home while intoxicated rather than walk it.
“We’d like to remind the public that drink-driving is not acceptable and although we cannot be everywhere at all times, we can be anywhere at any time.
“Please report suspected intoxicated drivers to us by calling 999, and if you know of a regular drink-driver, please report this information to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or via its website.”
