A big blow for priest

[rug]

Rodney Stevens | 24th October 2011

ST PATRICK'S South Grafton parish priest Father Peter Jones earned himself the dubious honour of returning one of the highest blood alcohol readings ever recorded in NSW by police.

An off-the-chart +.5 roadside reading was followed by registering .341, almost seven times the legal limit, on Wednesday when the 58-year-old Catholic priest was pulled over on the Pacific Hwy at Maclean.

A concerned motorist allegedly saw the white Toyota Camry being driven by Fr Jones crossing lanes at Harwood and reported the incident to police.

Police caught up with Fr Jones as he turned off the highway onto Yamba Rd and pulled him over for a roadside breath test.

3. Holy crap, .5???

And he was still conscious?

Even if it was .341, you gotta be pretty hard core to function at that level.

And how high does it have to be before they take you to the hospital first?
