He returned a negative result for a blood alcohol reading, however police noted he was sweating and making jerky head movements.
The Cannonvale man admitted to taking what he called âgoeyâ, a street name for methamphetamine, and was arrested.
Denney claimed he did not admit to taking methamphetamine and instead told the court he took a âgooey-looking thingâ.
Magistrate James Morton slammed Denneyâs behaviour.
âYouâre a fool, youâre an absolute fool,â he said.
âDo you usually put gooey-looking things in your mouth if you donât know what they are?â
Denney was fined $300 for the knife-related charge with no conviction recorded.
