Gerald Deon Brown, admitted drink-driving for a third or subsequent time and while in breach of his zero-alcohol licence.
He was remanded on bail for sentence on January 31. A report canvassing electronically monitored sentence options was ordered but Judge Dawson warned Brown he might be lucky if one was imposed.
Previously jailed for third or subsequent offences of drink-driving and driving while disqualified, Glenn Keven Pistor successfully applied to have the sentence converted to home detention, leave for which was granted at sentencing. Judge Dawson substituted the remaining prison term with six months home detention and added six months post-detention conditions.
Kane Nepe admitted breaching his zero-alcohol licence and was remanded at large for report and sentence on February 8.
The report will assess the potential for an electronically-monitored sentence.
Judge Nevin Dawson convicted and discharged a woman caught driving while disqualified, for a third or subsequent time.
There was no other penalty or further disqualification, which might ordinarily have been imposed.
The judge accepted Te Huinga Moa was in trying circumstances when she took over the driving from her partner on their return to Gisborne from Auckland.
The couple had five children and were expecting a baby. The children were unsettled and crying for about half an hour before Moa took over driving near Huntly.
Her partner was tired and moved to the back seat to try to settle the children.
Moa was stopped when police noticed a tail light not working — not because of any driver fault, Judge Dawson said.
She admitted the offence.
Given the circumstances, he would exercise his discretion and not impose any further disqualification, the judge said.
He told Moa, who was due to get her licence back in January, she needed to ensure she did not drive before then.
