Theodore Burns charged with drink driving in Botany

An intoxicated eastern suburbs P-plater drunkenly cleaned up four cars, including two BMWs, after a night on the beers at an infamous eastern suburbs party spot.

An intoxicated P-plater wiped out five cars in Sydney’s east after a night on the beers at one of the neighbourhood’s most infamous drinking holes, a court has heard.

Just like almost every self-respecting young adult in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, 23-year-old Theodore Burns was at The Golden Sheaf in Double Bay on December 1 last year – a Wednesday night.

But the Randwick labourer wound up having a night to forget after he smashed into five cars – including two BMWs – in Botany, and was subsequently busted at more than three times the legal blood alcohol limit.

Agreed police facts reveal Burns was driving a blue Mitsubishi at 1am on December 2 after his night at the Sheaf when he hit a parked BMW hatchback and caused extensive damage to the bumper.

He then collided with a red Nissan Skyline, followed by a Toyota HiAce van, which then hit a silver BMW 530i sedan, with all three parked and unoccupied vehicles incurring damage.

“The vehicle came to a stop on Wilson St due to extensive damage to both the interior and exterior of the vehicle, both airbags were deployed and smoke was seen coming briefly from the engine bay,” police state.

“A man made his way to the vehicle to check on the welfare of the accused, (who) said ‘I am very pissed, I’ll pay for everything, I’ll pay for all the damage’.”

When police arrived at the scene, Burns told officers he’d had six beers and said “I’m really drunk and I f**king just crashed into about five cars, I’m really sorry”.

Burns subsequently blew 0.188 – approaching four times the legal limit – and was charged with high range drink driving.

The young man faced Magistrate Miranda Moody at Downing Centre Local Court on June 29, where he pleaded guilty to the offence.

“If he drinks that much and enters a car he needs to have a serious look at his drinking,” Ms Moody said.

She convicted Burns and sentenced him to a 12-month community corrections order and a nine-month driving disqualification.
