A man was arrested twice in a mattter of hours in Oamaru this week.
An Oamaru man was arrested and charged with threatening to kill and driving with an excess breath-alcohol level over the weekend.
Sergeant Blair Wilkinson said the 51-year-old Oamaru man was arrested early on Saturday in South Hill.
The previous night, the man had also been arrested and charged with driving with an excess breath-alcohol level in Thames Highway at 11.35pm, Sgt Wilkinson said.
"The man was stopped and blew 671mcg after the police received a complaint by a member of the public about the manner of his driving," he said.
He is due to appear in the Oamaru District Court on August 6, on charges of threatening to kill or commit grievous bodily harm, and drink-driving.
