Decided to drive home as he could not get taxi
A decision to drive home after he had been drinking led to a 48 year old man receiving a 12 month driving ban last Friday at Craigavon Magistrates Court.
Piotr Gargol, Enniskeen, Craigavon, was also fined £150 for driving with excess alcohol in blood on November 3.
The court heard he was stopped in Edward Street and failed a preliminary breath test. A blood sample gave a reading of 134.
