The vehicle was seen swerving on the road and was being driven by a 41-year-old woman, Sgt Lee said.
‘‘She exhibited signs of recent alcohol consumption and was verbally abusive towards police.’’
She recorded a breath alcohol level of 926mcg — nearly four times over the legal limit for adults of 250mcg of alcohol per litre of breath.
Her driver’s licence was suspended and she was summonsed to appear in the Dunedin District Court at a later date, Sgt Lee said.
Police also stopped a vehicle being driven by a 61-year-old man at a checkpoint in King Edward St, at 10.20pm on Friday.

He recorded a breath alcohol level of 656mcg.
His driver’s licence was suspended and he was charged with driving while over the legal alcohol limit.
He will appear in the Dunedin District Court at a later date, Sgt Lee said.
