A radio message alerted police to a drink driver in Lewis.
Paul Thornley of Keose, Lewis, was caught while driving on the Lochs Raod four miles outside Stornoway.
Police in the vicinity stopped him after a "call over the airwaves" that a suspected drink driver was behind the wheel of a car coming their way just before noon on Monday.
Stornoway Sheriff Court heard Thornley give a roadside breath test. A later test
at the police station gave a lower reading of 106mcg against the legal maximum of
22mcg -
Procurator fiscal Karen Smith said he had a similar conviction within the last ten years. She was granted a motion to seize his Volkswagen Passat.
Sentence was deferred for background reports and Tornley is banned from driving until his next court appearance next month.
