Drink-driver locked up at Lockleys

12 Jun 2024 8:54am

A man has been arrested after being caught with an extremely high breath test reading at Lockleys.

It will be alleged that about 1.36pm on Tuesday 11 June, police were called to Hawthorne Street after reports that a Hyundai station wagon had collided with curbs and another car.

Officers stopped the car in nearby White Avenue and the driver underwent a breath test, returning a positive reading of 0.330, more than six times the legal limit.

The 52-year-old Lockleys man was charged with aggravated driving without due care, drink-driving and resist arrest.

He was issued a 12-month immediate loss of licence notice, his car was impounded for 28 days and he was bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on 28 August.
