High-profile criminal Dean Wickliffe has been handed another five months' jail sentence after being caught drink-driving for the sixth time and also driving while forbidden.
Wickliffe, 69, appeared in the Tauranga District Court by audio-visual link from prison today before Judge Christina Cook for sentence on three charges.
He had earlier pleaded guilty to one charge each of driving with an excess blood alcohol, driving while disqualified and a breach of a parole condition by consuming alcohol.
Wickliffe was caught drink-driving on March 14 while his licence was also revoked following his last drink-driving offence on September 23, 2017.
On March 14 this year he was stopped at a checkpoint and found to be driving with excess breath alcohol, which was later confirmed by a subsequent blood test.
