Community magistrate Kathryn Wilson convicted and fined Currie $525 and ordered him to pay court costs of $130, medical bills of $80 and analyst fees of $111.99.
Currie was also disqualified from driving for six months.
The date of the incident coincided with the Anzac match between the Chiefs and the Hurricanes at FMG Stadium Waikato which kicked off at 7.05pm.
A Chiefs spokesperson earlier confirmed to the Herald the franchise was aware of the charge, but would not make any further comment due to it being an employment matter.
