Driver Arrested Over Pursuit at Singleton

BY IAN CROUCH

A 21-year-old man has been charged with drink driving following a pursuit at Singleton.

Police say patrolling officers noticed a Holden Commodore utility being driven erratically on the New England Highway just after 11.30pm on Tuesday, but the driver failed to stop for a random breath test.

They began following the car, with the driver from Hunterview pulling over a short time later.

He allegedly returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.142, almost 3 times the legal limit and has been charged with mid range PCA.
