A Bundaberg tradie with a criminal history once again found himself before a magistrate after being busted drug driving.

Brodie John Fagan, 28, was travelling down busy Takalvan Street on August 27, 2021, when he was stopped for a routine check.

Bundaberg Magistrates Court heard Fagan was serving a suspended sentence for other offences when he was stopped and meth was found in his saliva.

Fagan, who works as a carpenter and represented himself in court, pleaded guilty to one count of driving while a relevant drug was present in his saliva.

In sentencing, Magistrate Trinity McGarvie spoke of the dangers of drug driving.

“When people drive with drugs in their saliva it is inherently dangerous, it puts other road users, who don’t expect people to have drugs in their saliva at risk of harm,” she said.

Fagan was fined $450, deferred to Sper, and disqualified from driving for three months.

A conviction was recorded.
