ONE of Victoria’s highest ranking officers stopped a drink driver in Dandenong last week, who told him it had taken him 20 years to get caught.
Assistant Commissioner Steve Fontana pulled over the 48-year-old Dandenong man after he was spotted driving his silver Ford sedan erratically on the Princes Highway in Dandenong at 6.15pm on Thursday.
Mr Fontana radioed for an additional police unit to breath test the man, after discovering he had been drinking alcohol.
He had a blood alcohol reading of 0.216 – four times the legal limit.
Police immediately suspended his licence and charged him with driving under the influence of alcohol.
He was bailed to appear before the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 3 February.
Police finally get their man
