A motorist who was asked to move his car because it was blocking the entrance to the courthouse at Tenby found himself back before the bench this week on a drink-drive charge.
Magistrates in the town on Tuesday heard how Michael Pritchard was asked to move his vehicle whilst he was attending the sitting last week to answer various motoring offences.
Fifty-one-year-old Pritchard saw a sign for a car park and made his way down St. Johns Hill, the bench heard.
At The Green he was seen by a police officer to cut across one of the mini-roundabouts and when stopped he said he was "sorry, but was late for court."
The officer could smell alcohol on Pritchard's breath and requested him to provide a roadside breath test. It proved positive and a subsequent intoxiliser test showed he was over the limit, with 53 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of breath. The legal limit is 35 mg.
Appearing in court on Tuesday, Pritchard pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol, but said he had not consumed alcohol that morning, but believed it was still in his system from the night before.
Pritchard, of 34 Myddynfych, Ammanford, was disqualified from driving for 12 months and fined £150. In view of his financial circumstances, no costs were imposed.
At the previous week's hearing, Pritchard was banned from driving for six months and fined a total of £215.
