A MAN was found under the influence of drink while he was in charge of a car at a pub.
Modestas Ceckauskas, 24, was arrested while in a Kia Ceed at Ye Olde Bull Inn, High Street, Caerleon, Newport on May 18.
The city’s magistrates' court heard he was over the prescribed limit when he gave a reading of 155 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood.
Ceckauskas, of Bethesda Place, Newport pleaded guilty to being in charge of a motor vehicle when the alcohol level was above the limit.
He was disqualified from driving for four months and ordered to pay £485 in a fine and costs.
The defendant was also ordered to pay £100 compensation after he admitted causing criminal damage to the back of a Gwent Police vehicle on the same date.
