POLICE will be on the look-out for a Builth Wells man after a warrant was issued for his arrest by a court.
Daniel Evans, of Watern Grove, was due to appear at Llandrindod Wells Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, February 15, but he failed to attend.
Evans, 25, is accused of driving a red Ford Fiesta in Llanelwedd on September 19 last year with two different drugs in his system.
It is alleged Evans had both cannabis and benzoylecgonine – a derivative of cocaine – in his system when he was stopped by police on Station Crescent.

The amount of cannabis in his blood was alleged to have been 2.8 micrograms and the level of benzoylecgonine was said to have been 237 micrograms.
The legal amount for cannabis when driving is 2 micrograms and benzoylecgonine is 50mcgs.
The court heard Evans had been in contact to say he could not attend the hearing due to illness, but magistrates issued an arrest warrant due to not receiving any medical evidence from a doctor.
