Victor Harbor Woman Charged
A 40-year-old woman from Victor Harbor has been charged with drink driving, driving under the influence and resisting arrest.
At 12.15am this morning, police were advised that a woman who appeared intoxicated had entered her car after leaving a Victor Harbor hotel and drove off.
Patrols were quickly on scene and caught up with the suspected vehicle on Battye Road at Encounter Bay.
The driver submitted to a breath test where she allegedly provided a result on 0.219 – more than four times over the legal limit.
She was granted police bail to appear in Victor Harbor Magistrates Court on 6 November.
Her car was impounded and she was issued a 12 month immediate loss of licence.
