with fines totaling $1,350 from an incident on June 23.

Garvin Francis, of Claytown, pleaded guilty to driving an unlicensed motorcycle while being disqualified by his age, driving it while impaired and having no third party insurance.

The court heard that a Police officer was driving a squad car west on Barry Road in St. George's when Francis came around the corner at high speed in the wrong lane and clipped the car's side mirror.

The officer gave chase and eventually stopped Francis after he had tried to elude him.

Police prosecutor Sgt. Phil Taylor said the officer noticed Francis had difficulty in putting the cycle up on its stand and could smell alcohol on his breath when he spoke.

Francis -- a delivery person for Burrows and Lightbourn -- told the officer: "I was going to my ace girl's house.'' He admitted "I had a Guinness'' when the officer asked if he had been drinking.

Francis supplied two samples of breath and the lowest reading was 202 milligrams of alcohol to 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80 milligrams. It was later discovered that Francis was only 17 and therefore disqualified by his age from riding motor cycles and that the motor cycle was not licensed or insured.

He told the court he had nothing to say and Acting Senior Magistrate Cheryl-Ann Mapp fined him $500 and disqualified him from all vehicles for 12 months for driving while impaired. She also fined him $350 for driving while disqualified, $200 for riding an unlicensed motorcycle and $300 for not having insurance.
