Edwards Pleads Guilty - Ipswich Town News
Town right-back Carlos Edwards this morning pleaded guilty to charges of driving whilst disqualified and without insurance at South East Suffolk Magistrates’ Court. The case was adjourned until Thursday when, after pre-sentencing reports, the 32-year-old will be sentenced.
Edwards was arrested close to his home in Kesgrave on September 26th after driving his daughter to school.
The Trinidad and Tobago international’s wife gave birth to twins weighing 2lb on Saturday at Addenbrooke’s with the babies currently being cared for in incubators at the Cambridge hospital.
Edwards, who was joined in court by Town chief executive Simon Clegg, cited the complications with his wife’s pregnancy as a factor leading to him drive despite his ban earlier in the year.
Prior to being taken to Addenbrooke’s, his wife had been admitted Ipswich Hospital on September 25th and was subsequently moved to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and then the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital with Edwards spending much of the night at her bedside after the West Ham game, the day after he committed the offences.
