A DOLLAR man has pleaded guilty after being caught driving while more than five times the limit.

Neil MacDonald, of Innerdownie Place, tendered his guilty plea when he appeared at Alloa Sheriff Court on Thursday, May 10.

On April 14 of this year, MacDonald drove his vehicle along Tarmangie Drive and Innerdownie Place, both in Dollar, after consuming so much alcohol that his breath had 126mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath.

The current legal limit is 22mg in 100ml.

His defence lawyer, Kelly Howe, told the court last week that her client, who is 50-years-old, has no previous convictions and brought his licence with him in order to be surrendered.

Sheriff Christopher Shead deferred sentencing for a period of four weeks in order for criminal justice social work reports to be prepared.
