It will also be alleged that two two-year-olds, a three-year-old, and a seven-year-old were all unrestrained in his Holden Commodore sedan.

The man was ordered to surrender his vehicle within seven days.

He was charged with high range drink driving, no authority to drive, and failing to correctly restrain four passengers under 16 years old.

He will face Meekatharra Magistrate’s Court on January 17.
