Barrett, of Lincoln Road, Faldingworth, Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, was arrested on the afternoon of 14 September 2023 following a roadside breath test. Release date - 12/10/23. See SWNS story SWMRdrunk. A drink driver was found slumped fast asleep at the wheel after swerving all over the M1. Police have released dashcam and body worn camera footage of Jamie Barrett?s dangerous driving as a reminder to others of the potentially fatal consequences of getting behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol. The 30-year-old was seen driving dangerously as he headed north in a black Ford van, between junctions 25 and 26, at one point veering all the way from lanes one to four. A concerned witness, who reported what he saw to the police, said Barrett?s erratic driving was as though he was shaking his steering wheel quickly from left to right.
