Public assist Waikato Police to get drunk-driver off the roads

1 min read

Waikato Police would like to acknowledge drivers in Otorohanga who called *555 this morning and reported a dangerous driver and helped us get him off the roads.

Police received calls shortly before 11am of a person driving erratically south through Otorohanga. The driver was stopped in Pirongia and failed a road-side breath test. The 39-year-old man has been processed for excess breath alcohol and has been bailed to appear in court next week.

People who chose to ring *555 and report a bad driver are doing their part to keep people safe on our roads and the outcome of this incident proves just that.

¡°The behaviour of this driver is completely unacceptable. We are grateful that we were able to get this man off our roads and prevent him from hurting innocent motorists,¡± says Sergeant Charles Burgess.
