"A quick call to @StaffsDogs @staffsresponse who managed to get the car stopped."
The Stafford Police Twitter account later posted: "That's two drink drivers in the last two hours. One following a crash, the other with a very young child in the back.
"Drink driving is never acceptable but too many still insist on learning the hard way. We will catch you."
