after pleading guilty to driving with more than the legal limit of alcohol.

Harry Grant, 46, of Cedar Park, Devonshire, pleaded not guilty to driving while impaired, but guilty to driving with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood, the legal limit.

Police Prosecutor Sgt. Phil Taylor said Police were called to a road traffic accident on June 5 around 10.35 p.m. on Commissioner's Hill.

Grant, who was involved in the accident, had been driving a green car. When officers arrived they smelled alcohol on his breath and noticed his eyes were glazed.

When asked if he had been drinking Grant told Police: "Yeah, I've had a few bombers.'' It was later discovered he had 172 milligrams of alcohol in 100 litres of blood. Sgt. Taylor told Magistrate Edward King that Grant was taken off the road in 1990 for a similar offence and, earlier this year, was forced to pay a fine for driving without due care.

Duty Council Richard Horseman asked Mr. Francis to allow Grant to keep his truck driving licence so that he could "work and provide for his family.'' Mr. King fined Grant $600 and disqualified him from driving all vehicles except commercial vehicles for a year.

SOLIDER REBELLED AGAINST DUTIES CTS Soldier rebelled against duties A 20-year-old soldier pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court yesterday to various Regimental offences.

Shae Outerbridge, of Malabar Close, Sandys, who was enlisted into the Bermuda Regiment in December, 1995, admitted missing several parades between February 12 and March 22 of this year.

Crown counsel Leighton Rochester told the Court that Outerbridge had also left Warwick Camp without permission and disobeyed a mandatory order to report to camp.

Mr. Rochester described Outerbridge as a "persistent'' offender who had been previously disciplined by the army many times.

When asked by Senior Magistrate Will Francis why he continued to rebel against his Regimental responsiblities, Outerbridge said: "I don't want to be there.'' "Son, in this life we have to be a lot of places we don't want to be and until you learn to deal with that life will be very difficult for you,'' Mr.

Francis replied.

Mr. Francis ordered a social inquiry report to be presented in Court on September 5. Bail was set at $500 with one like surety.
