A night out got progressively worse for a Queenstown man after he lost his wallet - police found MDMA inside when it was handed in.
Sergeant Steve Watt said a taxi driver handed in a wallet to police on Saturday, which turned out to contain four caps of MDMA in a self-sealing bag.
The wallet's owner, a man in his 20s, admitted possessing the drugs and was given a pre-charge warning.
- Queenstown police also charged three people on drink-driving matters late last week.
At 11.35pm on Thursday, a man in his 20s was charged with careless driving and drink-driving after crashing his car on the Gibbston Highway. He had a breath-alcohol level of 798mcg.
Two men were charged in separate incidents early on Friday.
The first man was charged with refusing to accompany police after refusing to take a roadside breath test at 2am. Police are awaiting the results of a blood test.
Fifty minutes later, a Canadian man was stopped in Edinburgh Dr, gave a breath-alcohol reading of 670mcg and was charged with drink-driving.
