Here’s the list of the drink and drug drivers who appeared at Bowen Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
1. Thomas John Bradbury pleaded guilty to operating a commercial fishing dory with marijuana in his system on March 20.
The court heard water police conducting patrols on the Coral Sea intercepted Mr Bradbury at 8.15am and conducted a saliva drug test, which returned a positive result.
Bradbury told the court he had used marijuana because he suffered from back pain and had thought it “better to have a smoke than take all these pills”.
He said losing his boat licence would mean losing his job.
