A Balclutha man who had a few drinks the night before his wedding was charged with drink-driving.
Having a few drinks on the night before his wedding led to a groom being charged with drink-driving on the morning of his big day. Gerald Rahui Reeves, 38, of Balclutha, was fined $850 and disqualified from driving for seven months when he appeared before Judge John Brandts-Giesen in the Gore District Court on Wednesday. The court heard that on 2.10am on January 29, a Nissan Nivara vehicle was observed being driven under the speed limit on Frankton Rd, in Queenstown. It crossed over to the left-hand side of the road markings and was stopped by police.
