DRINKING, DRIVING COSTS MAN $1,750 CTS Drinking, driving costs man $1,750 Handyman Brunell Swan was slapped with $1,750 in fines after being caught nearly three times over the drink-drive limit yesterday.

Swan, 37, of St. John's Road, Pembroke, was banned from driving for a year and fined $450 for drinking and driving on Stowe Hill, Paget, on February 12.

He pleaded guilty after his breath test reading was 234 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood.

Senior Magistrate Will Francis gave him until the end of April to pay the fines.

US SAILOR CHANGES PLEA TO GUILTY CTS US sailor changes plea to guilty American sailor Steven Jube was fined $450 for drink-driving yesterday -- after switching his plea from not guilty to guilty.

Jube, 43, is staying with his sister on Water Street in St. George's and initially denied being over the limit on Reid Street, Hamilton, on March 13.

But Senior Magistrate Will Francis asked for a bail surety when Junior Crown Counsel Veronica Gordon said Police believed Jube was about to leave Bermuda.

And the defendant said he did not want to involve his family, switching his plea to guilty so his sister did not have to sign his bail forms.

He also denied claims by the prosecutor that he was ready to leave Bermuda within 24 hours, saying he planned to stay until the end of May.

Jube, who came to Bermuda in a sailboat, was also banned from driving for a year.
