A PEMBROKE Dock man was caught twice the drink-drive limit after damaging a car which he took without consent.
Ryan Guy, now 21, of Munro Court, appeared at Haverfordwest Magistratres’ Court charged with four offences.
Guy was alleged to have taken a Vauxhall Corsa without the owner’s consent on January 28 in Pennar.
He was then accused of driving without insurance and without a valid licence on Bentlass Terrace, and was alleged to have damaged the vehicle.
When breathalysed, Guy recorded having 79 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath – more than twice the legal limit of 35.
