ACT Policing has charged a 40-year-old Weston man after he was detected with a blood alcohol reading of 0.330 in Turner yesterday (Sunday, September 20).
At about 5.10pm police received a report from an off duty AFP member of a person driving erratically in Turner, nearly colliding with a parked car.
The driver, who was currently disqualified, underwent a roadside breath test returning a positive result. He was then taken to the City Police Station where a breath analysis was conducted, returning a high range blood alcohol reading.
The driver was arrested and charged with driving while on suspension, driving while disqualified and driving a motor vehicle with alcohol in breath. He will face court next month.
If you observe or believe that someone is drink driving please call Police Operations on 131 444.
