KEY POINTS:
A Rotorua crown prosecutor has been caught drink driving at nearly twice the legal limit.
Rotorua District Court was told yesterday that Richard William Maze, 27, was stopped at a checkpoint in June after he had been out celebrating his birthday, the Daily Post reported.
He recorded a reading of 729 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath. The limit is 400mcg.
Judge James Weir fined Maze $450 and banned him from driving for six months after he admitted driving over the alcohol limit.
