A 45-year-old man who had previously been detected drink-driving, was caught five times over the legal limit by ACT Policing on Sunday (April 11).
Around 12.40am on Sunday morning ACT Policing attended the scene of a crash where a vehicle had rolled on its roof with one uninjured male inside. The man was not jnured.
After being assisted out of the car, the driver failed to supply a sufficient amount of breath for testing. He was taken to the Tuggeranong Police Station for a breath analysis where he was found to have a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.279, more than five times his legal of 0.05 limit for a full licence holder.
The man will face the ACT Magistrates court at a later date.
