Co Antrim man was four and a half times drink drive limit
A man was four and a half times the drink drive limit.
Iain Nigel McIntyre (37), with an address listed as Argyll Street in Antrim town, had an alcohol in breath reading of 158 - the legal limit is 35.
He pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol in breath. He had a record.
Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena on Tuesday, was told that on September 21 last year police spoke to the defendant at an address and he admitted he had been driving earlier.
District Judge Nigel Broderick said the high reading was an "aggravating" feature and handed down 100 hours of Community Service and an 18 months driving ban. The defendant will then have to re-sit a driving test to get back on the road.
