Scotty was fined £330 and banned from driving for a full year.
Despite his big Geordie Shore return after two years away from the show, bosses have made the decision to drop him from the new series.
A source told The Sun: “Scotty T will not be back for the next series of Geordie Shore, which starts filming later this spring.
"While the Geordie Shore cast have never been expected to be squeaky clean, bosses couldn’t stand by his recent off screen antics.

"At the end of the day, it’s not a good look for the show or MTV if they endorse cast members who drive whilst under the influence of illegal drugs."
They added: "They had no choice but to not ask him back for the next run. If he cleans up his act, there is always the chance he could return in the future, but right now, the show is moving forward without him.”
The Sun have reached out for comment.

Scotty's comeback
Last year, insiders teased that Scotty was set to make a return to the series.
A source had told us: "Scotty’s been in weeks of talks and is now days away from signing on to officially rejoin the cast.
"He really missed the show and knows it was his own fault he had to leave.
"The cast all still love him so they’re so happy he’s set to return. It means next series will be incredible - even though he’s done some stupid things in the past, he’s fun TV.
"Bosses have warned him this is his last chance and not to ruin it like he did last time.”
Scotty joined the cast in 2012 for the fourth series.
He was on the show until 2018.
The reality star then returned in 2022 for series 18, 19 and 23.
