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.
A metal detectorist has discovered an ‘amazing’ 4,000-year-old relic. John Bradbury, from Brierfield, has been metal detecting for 32 years, and has recently found a Bronze Age axe head. While he and a friend were out detecting in a field near Nelson, John realised the significance of the relic which he said was a ‘once in a lifetime find’. He said: “When I saw this axe head, 32 years I have been waiting to tick the box for that. I was in shock, I couldn’t believe my eyes. “A 4,000-year-old axe head with the wood still inside!” John has estimated that the axe head, which was four inches below the ground, could be worth around £200.
