supplements caused a high alcohol breath sample.

Prosecutor Sgt. Phil Taylor told the court that Gabriel Stirling was stopped at 3 a.m. in Paget in a black Volkswagen.

When Stirling, 24, of St. Mary's Road, Warwick, was asked to get out of his car he had to lean against the door for support.

Asked if he had been drinking, Stirling said: "Yeah, two Foster's.'' Sgt. Taylor said Stirling was taken to Hamilton Police Station where an alco-analyser test showed he had 224 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80 milligrams of alcohol.

Stirling told Mr. Francis he was surprised by the reading from the machine: "My opinion is the high reading is from tea tablets that I take as a supplement I take for exercise. Even the Police were surprised.'' Mr. Francis fined Stirling $450 and banned him from driving all motor vehicles for a year.
