An allegedly drunk Dunedin food delivery driver  was busted on his food delivery run after being dobbed in by concerned eatery staff. 

The 25-year-old DoorDash food delivery driver was picking up orders from an eatery in George St at 9pm on Tuesday when staff noticed a strong scent of alcohol allegedly coming from the man, Senior Sergeant Iain Notman, of Dunedin, said. 

The man was also being aggressive towards the eatery’s owner.

After he collected the food and drove off, staff called police and he was quickly pulled over while driving down George St.

The man refused to undergo breath-testing procedures and refused to provide a blood sample. 

His licence was suspended for 28 days and he received a summons to appear in Dunedin District Court at a later date for failing to comply with an officer’s request for blood. 

Snr Sgt Notman said police were not sure what became of  the DoorDash orders the driver had collected. .
