A MAN who was found in his car after a crash in Glasgow city centre was so drunk that he had to be helped to walk across the road.

Gary O’Donnell, 37, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court recently after pleading guilty to being in control of a car when the proportion of alcohol in his urine was 161 milligrams in 100 millilitres of urine.

The legal limit is 67 milligrams per 100 millilitres.

The court heard that police were asked to respond to a collision on Newton Street (A804) at around 8pm on November 26, 2022.

Shortly after getting to the scene officers found O’Donnell in his car and he appeared to be intoxicated, slurring his words.

He was asked to get out of the car and sit in a police vehicle.

Cops said O’Donnell was unsteady on his feet and needed assistance to cross the road.

A roadside breath test was then carried out which O’Donnell failed.

He was arrested and taken to Govan police office where the sample of urine was taken.

Sheriff Simone Sweeney endorsed O’Donnell’s licence with eight penalty points.

He was also placed on a community payback order with social work supervision for a period of 12 months.

Additionally, O’Donnell was tagged for 90 days keeping him indoors from 9pm to 7am.
