Drink driving

A man will front the Charleville Magistrates Court after he was caught drinking at 9.40am on Friday, July 2.

Police were patrolling King Street and intercepted a vehicle for a traffic related offence.

The driver was required to provide a specimen of breath and recorded a positive roadside test and was taken back to the police station for further testing where he recorded a breath alcohol concentration of 0.018 per cent.

Due to being subject of a restricted licence, he must have no alcohol in his system at all times.

He was issued a notice of suspension for 24 hours and a notice to appear in court at a later date.
