Wodonga double take

Police in Wodonga were shocked after intercepting the same drink driver twice yesterday evening.

A 46-year-old man was driving a Holden Rodeo when he was intercepted by police on Lawrence Street, Wodonga just before 9.10pm.

The driver returned a positive breath test and was conveyed to Wodonga Police station where he returned a reading of 0.192.

His licence was immediately suspended, and keys retained by police with the driver to face court at a later date.

Just after 11.40pm, the same driver was intercepted on Melbourne Road, this time in a Mazda CX9 with a 10-year-old female passenger on board.

Arrangements were made for the child to be collected prior to the driver again accompanying police to Wodonga Police Station where he returned a result of 0.146.

The CX9 was impounded at a cost of $1115 and the man will be charged with a second drink driving offence as well as drive while suspended.
