It happened in Grimsby in September

A Humberside Police officer will face a special case misconduct hearing next week over allegations of drunk driving and carrying a knife.

On September 13, 2018 PC Tyler-Jones appeared at Grimsby Magistrates Court where he pleaded guilty to, and was subsequently convicted and sentenced for, driving over the limit.
