A MAN arrested on suspicion of drink-driving was in the UK illegally, according to police.
Sussex Roads Police sent out a tweet this afternoon alleging the man who was arrested last night in Hassocks shortly before 9pm was found to have given false details, is a disqualified driver and a Ukrainian national who was in the UK illegally.
He has been charged and remanded in custody to appear in court and will then be handed over to immigration officers.
Sussex Police said they cannot provide any more details at this stage.
