Derry Court
A man from Cavan in the Republic has been fined and disqualified after being detected drink driving at a PSNI checkpoint.
Edgar Sondors (52) with an address at Cornakill, Mullagh in Cavan appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court with the assistance of a Russian interpreter charged with driving with excess alcohol on December 18.
The court was told at 2.25am there was a checkpoint in Moneymore and Sondors failed a preliminary breath test.
An evidential breath test revealed a reading of 48mgs with the legal limit being 35mgs.
A defence solicitor said that his client had co-operated fully with police and had been visiting friends in Magherafelt and had a 'few drinks'.
Sondors was disqualified for 12 months and fined £200.
