Three drink-drivers involved in separate road crashes have been banned from the roads.

Kiransingh Rajput, 41, pleaded guilty in Magistrates’ Court yesterday to refusing to take a breath test.

Matthew Frick, for the Crown, told the court that police were called to a crash on Bay Lane, Sandys, in the early hours of August 11.

Police discovered Rajput laying in the road, with his “severely damaged” motorcycle on its side. Officers also saw several broken beer bottles.

When police asked Rajput what had happened, he said: “I am drunk.”

Rajput was taken to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment to abrasions on his nose.

Officers demanded a sample of blood for analysis once he was hooked up to an IV drip.

Although he initially agreed, Rajput then refused to offer samples and told the doctor assisting him not to let them take any blood.

He later admitted that the incident was his fault but still declined to let his blood be tested, even when told it would be an offence not to.

Susan Mulligan, for the defence, apologised on behalf of her client and assured the court that he would not let it happen again.

Magistrate Tyrone Chin fined Rajput, from Sandys, $1,500 and banned him from the roads for 18 months.

Donita Stevens, 36, pleaded guilty to drink-driving and driving without a licence.

Mr Chin heard that officers were called to a crash near the Botanical Gardens in Paget in the late hours of August 9.

When they arrived, according to Mr Frick, police found Stevens in a car with “extensive damage” that appeared to have hit a wall.

Stevens was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital to receive treatment for her injuries. She told police that she did not remember what had happened.

Officers smelled alcohol on her breath and arrested her on suspicion of drink-driving after she was treated.

Police took Stevens to Hamilton Police Station, where they demanded a sample of breath for analysis.

Stevens agreed to take the breath test, where it was revealed that she had 139.4 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80mg/100ml.

Michael Scott, for the defence, explained that his client fell asleep at the wheel and described the situation as “traumatic” for her.

He added that this was Stevens’s first offence and that “she’ll not forget this one”.

Mr Chin fined Stevens, from Devonshire, $1,500 for drink-driving and banned her from the roads for 18 months.

He also fined her $200 for driving without a licence and issued seven demerit points.

Chaziah Brown, 23, pleaded guilty to drink-driving in the early hours of August 2.

The court heard that police were called to a collision on Cashew City Road in St David’s at about 2.25am.

Police saw that the other vehicle involved had left but found Brown behind the wheel of his car.

Officers woke Brown, asked him to step out of the vehicle and observed that he was struggling to stand.

When asked if he had consumed any alcohol, he told police: “I had two drinks.”

Officers arrested Brown and took him to Hamilton Police Station. A breath test showed he had 211 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood — nearly triple the legal limit.

The court heard that Brown, from Devonshire, had been driving his grandmother’s car, and that the other driver left after exchanging insurance details.

Mr Chin fined him $1,500 and ordered him to pay the fine by September 23.He also banned Brown from the roads for 18 months.
