A man has been charged with high-range drink driving after allegedly being
caught almost six times the legal limit at Fern Bay.
Just before 5.30pm on Thursday, officers stopped an unregistered Subaru Outback on Nelson
Bay Road, Fern Bay, where they spoke with the driver, a 50-year-old man.
He was subject to a roadside breath test which returned a positive result.
The driver was arrested and taken to Raymond Terrace Police Station for a
secondary breath analysis which allegedly returned a reading of 0.282.
The Belmont man was issued with a court attendance notice for high-range PCA
and is due to face Raymond Terrace Local Court on Monday March 29.
His licence was also suspended and he was issued an infringement notice for
driving an unregistered motor vehicle.
