A honeymooning Australian was allegedly caught drink-driving while on his way to pick up his sloshed bride from a night in the cells.
The groom (26) was processed by Queenstown police after driving to the station at 6.30am on Saturday.
''His wife had been arrested earlier [that night] for detoxification purposes,'' Sergeant Steve Watt, of Queenstown, said.
''They were over here on their honeymoon. He, being the good husband, decided to pop into the station to uplift his wife the next morning.''
The man allegedly recorded 555 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath in a breath test. The limit is 400mcg.
