The son of NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller has pleaded guilty to drink driving and driving unlicensed.
Jacob James Fuller, 20, appeared at Sutherland Local Court on Thursday after blowing 0.031 during the early hours of September 8, an offence because of the zero alcohol limit on a P-plater licence.
He was driving a Subaru BRZ and stopped short of a roadside breath testing station on the Princes Highway at Waterfall just before 3am that morning before undergoing a breath test.
When officers checked Fuller’s provisional licence they discovered it had a demerit points suspension.
He pleaded guilty to both charges today including special-range drink driving and drive on road while licence suspended. He will be sentenced on November 7 at Downing Centre Local Court.
His defence applied for a non-publication order for his address which was granted, taking into consideration his parents’ high profile.
Fuller remained tight lipped outside court when media asked him about his plea.
A blood alcohol reading of 0.031 is roughly equivalent to one standard beer.
The legal limit for a driver on a full licence is 0.05 but zero for a P-plater.
Fuller was one of 260 drivers caught drink driving during Operation Nabbed, which was a road safety blitz across Sydney during that particular weekend.
