A court in Harrogate has issued an arrest warrant for the former landlord of the Coach and Horses pub.
John Nelson, who held the pub's licence for 33 years until last summer, was due for a hearing at the Harrogate Justice Centre today.
Police arrested Mr Nelson on October 30, the day after the council gave his daughter the licence, on Leeds Road and tested him for drugs.
The test found that he had 30 micrograms of cocaine per litre of blood in his system. Officers also found three bottles of methadone in his car.
As a result, officers charged him with drug driving and with possession of a class A drug.
