Quadruple limit drink-driver must await sentence in jail
Tuesday 6th July 2010, 2:29PM BST.
A MAN who crashed his car into a tree on Saturday has admitted drink-driving.
Harvey Sines, 39, of 11, Orchard Rise, Upper St Jacques, St Peter Port, was remanded in custody yesterday when he appeared in the Magistrate’s Court.
Crown Advocate Graeme McKerrell said that a breath sample taken after Sines’s crash at Les Rouvets, Vale, contained 154 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml. The limit is 35.
Advocate Rachel Eeles asked for her client to be bailed, because it was apparent he would be sent to prison and he would need to sort out his affairs first.
She said her client had his own business and had not been before the Magistrate’s Court since 1991.
Judge Philip Robey said it was inevitable that Sines would be going to prison.
He remanded him in custody until the 15 July and the case was adjourned for reports.
