Man charged with high-range drink-driving following Mayfield incident

About 2.30am on Saturday, Newcastle Police District officers saw a vehicle swerving in and out of a lane on Maitland Road, Mayfield.

They stopped the vehicle, and gave the 25-year-old male driver a roadside breath test which returned a positive result.

He was submitted to a breath analysis at Waratah Police Station where he returned a reading of 0.157.

His licence was suspended immediately, and he was charged with high-range drink-driving.

He is due to appear before Newcastle Local Court in July.
