A 34 year-old McKellar man will face the ACT Magistrates Court tomorrow after driving more than three times the legal blood alcohol limit and spitting at police.
At around 1am (Sunday 22 June) police located a silver Mazda 6 with QLD registration at a petrol station in Braddon that had earlier failed to stop for police multiple times in Canberra’s inner north.
The driver of the vehicle was subjected to a roadside alcohol screening test which returned a positive result recording a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.174.
The driver also had a disqualified licence and was on a Good Behaviour Order.
The man was arrested and while at the ACT Watch House, he allegedly spat at police.
He will face the ACT Magistrates Court tomorrow charged with drunk driving, driving while disqualified, breach of a Good Behaviour Order and assaulting a frontline community service provider.
He was also served with an Immediate Suspension Notice suspending his right to drive in the ACT for 90 days.
