A 20-year-old Emerald man was allegedly drunk behind the wheel when he was caught burning rubber with weapons in the car.
Police said they spotted a silver Holden Commodore hooning at the intersection of White Street and Grey Street at around 8.20pm on February 22.
The vehicle pulled a burnout before speeding away down White Street, eventually being stopped on Roberts Street, according to police.
The driver, 20, blew positive on the RBT and video footage shows police finding weapons inside the car.
He has been charged with wilful creating undue noise and smoke, as well as drink driving, after recording a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of .063% at the police station.
He has also been issued a notice to appear for possessing a knife in a public place.
The Holden Commodore has been impounded.
The man is set to appear before Emerald Magistrates Court today, March 25.
