Benjamin Anthony Khan - 0.119
The roofer was found by police in his vehicle, parked in a Zilzie median strip with the engine running, at midnight on March 27.
He was unresponsive and officers tried to wake him. He appeared to be intoxicated so they tried to give him a breath test.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Shaun Janes told the court Khan was uncooperative with police and tried to enter the vehicle again, so had to be restrained.
He was taken back to the Rockhampton Police Station where he blew 0.119.
âHe made full admissions of being the driver of the vehicle at the time,â Sergeant Janes said.

A Central Queensland man has faced court after he drove to “take his child to school” while unlicensed.
Kai Duane William Sauer pleaded guilty in Rockhampton Magistrates Court on January 29 to one count of driving without a licence.
Police prosecutor Helen Lane said police intercepted Sauer along Plahn St, Frenchville, at 8.16am on November 23, 2020.
Ms Lane said checks revealed Sauer was unlicensed due to accumulation of demerit points, which lasted from October 14, 2020 until January 13, 2021.
She said Sauer told police he was taking his child to school.
Sauer was fined $450 and disqualified from driving for six months with a traffic conviction recorded.
