He refused to submit a breath test, and was charged with a raft of offences including misuse of a motor vehicle, failing to obey a direction to stop, hindering police and refusing a breath test.

He was also charged with contravening against an alcohol interlocking system in his car, as his licence was subject to mandatory alcohol breathalyser conditions.
