A Tauranga man who told police he "does stupid stuff" when he drank alcohol has been caught drink-driving for the fourth time after stealing a Domino's Pizza delivery worker's vehicle.
Thomas William Habgood, 27, appeared in the Tauranga District Court before Judge Thomas Ingram yesterday, pleading guilty to three charges including one each of unlawfully taking a motor vehicle, possession of methamphetamine, and driving with excess breath alcohol - a third or subsequent offence.
The latter charge attracts a maximum penalty of two years' prison and the unlawful taking of a motor vehicle charge is a seven-year imprisonable offence.
The charges relate to an incident in February this year.
Habgood has three previous convictions for drink driving offences, the court heard.
