driving for one year after pleading guilty to impaired driving yesterday in Magistrates' Court.

Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner was told that on December 21 of last year Police were alerted by concerned members of the public that Adcock had been drinking all day and was driving around St. George's. Adcock was stopped by Police officers later that afternoon.

When stopped, he stretched his arm out the car window and dropped his keys at the officer's feet. Police asked if he had been drinking and he replied: "No, do I look pissed to you?'' Police noted his speech was slurred and his eyes were glazed. When taken to St. George's Police station, he said that he'd drank one Heineken but later admitted he had been playing golf for drinks all day. He failed to supply an adequate breath sample, despite having the instructions explained to him several times.

Police said Adcock later offered to buy officers a round of drinks in Swizzle Inn and give them $1,000 to let him go.

I've just come from my company Christmas party.'' Douglas consented to breathe analysis but, once at the Police station, refused saying, "just show me where my room is.''

On January 27, Police were forced to take evasive action when a car driven by Antonio Toussant of Swansville Road, Warwick, came around a bend on South Shore Road -- on the wrong side of the road.

When they pulled Toussant over and asked if he'd been drinking, he said: "Yes, I had a few beers. I only live a few minutes up the road.'' Toussant agreed to breathe test, which revealed he had 172 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. Magistrate Archie Warner fined him $1000 and banned him from driving for one year.
