A Tullera man will face court on drink-driving and drug charges after being caught speeding in Lismore.
“Police will allege that at 1.25am on Sunday police saw a vehicle driving above the speed limit on Winterton Parade, Lismore,” crime prevention officer Senior Constable David Henderson said today in a post on the Richmond PD Facebook page.
“Police stopped the car and spoke to the driver, a 21-year-old Tullera man who appeared intoxicated.
“He failed a roadside alcohol breath test and was placed under arrest.
“Police also saw a bag of cocaine on the driver's seat as he exited his car.
“A further search of the car revealed MDMA pills, MDMA powder and LSD. Police also found Oxycodone and 27 Xanax that were not prescribed to him.”
“At Lismore Police station he produced a breath analysis that placed him in the mid range. “
The driver was charged with Mid Range PCA and six counts of Possess Prohibited Drug. His licence was suspended and he will face Lismore Local Court in September.
