The man was recognised and arrested on driving offences.
The car was impounded and the man was bailed to appear in the Balclutha District Court on February 23.

• A 17-year-old Milton youth arrested for disorderly behaviour and resisting arrest spent a night in the Balclutha police cells on Sunday.

He is due to appear in court on February 23.
• A 72-year-old Milton man who was stopped for drink-driving in Milton on Sunday evening returned a reading of 706mcg and will appear on February 23 in the Balclutha District Court.
