The Northern Territory Police Force has arrested and charged a 41-year-old man for drink driving and disorderly behaviour offences in Coolalinga on Saturday.
It is alleged around 2:20pm, the 41-year-old behaved in a disorderly manner in a Coolalinga car park, before leaving the scene in his vehicle.
About 2:40pm, he was located by Palmerston general duties police and returned a positive roadside breath test.
He was arrested and later returned a breath analysis of 0.313% blood alcohol content.
The 41-year-old has been charged with:
- Drive high range blood alcohol content
- Drive licence expired
- Disorderly behaviour in public place
He was served an immediate suspension notice disqualifying him from driving and was remanded in custody to appear in the Darwin Local Court today.
Senior Sergeant Travis Edwards said, "This offender not only behaved disorderly in public, but made the reckless and selfish decision to drive at more than six times the legal limit.
"That decision could easily have resulted in serious injury or loss of life.
"Police will continue targeting dangerous driving behaviours to remove those drivers from our roads and ensure they have their day in court."
