A coked-up driver was caught behind the wheel of his car at 16 times the legal drug limit and began "constantly talking" and being argumentative.<\/p>\n
Cops in Midlothian, Scotland, pulled over Jamie Mallinson in October last year at around 3.30pm and decided to give him a drug test when he was \u201cimmediately argumentative and constantly talking\u201d.<\/p>\n
A later blood test showed he had 800 microgrammes of a cocaine derivative in his bloodstream when the limit is 50mg, the Daily Record reported.<\/p>\n

Mallinson appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday, August 23, and pleaded guilty to drug driving. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fiscal depute Clare Green said police on mobile patrol signalled Mallinson\u2019s vehicle to stop on Moorfoot View at around 3.30pm.<\/p>\n
Ms Green said the driver was argumentative with cops and wouldn\u2019t stop talking, leading to a roadside drug test being administered.<\/p>\n
Mallinson tested positive for cocaine, the court heard, and was taken to St Leonards police station in the capital.<\/p>\n
An analysis found he had 800mg of benzoylecgonine per litre of blood when the limit was 50mg per litre.<\/p>\n

Defence agent Gordon Stewart said Mallinson, who is currently unemployed, had held a driving licence for 17 years.<\/p>\n
Mr Stewart said Mallinson had \u201cvoluntarily surrendered\u201d his licence for medical reasons, adding his client underwent a back operation earlier this year.<\/p>\n
The solicitor said he was aware the court would likely call for background reports due to the \u201chigh reading\u201d.<\/p>\n
Sheriff Ian Anderson deferred sentence on Mallinson, of Penicuik, Midlothian, until next month for reports.<\/p>\n
