Julian Heliodore Ullmann (27), a hotel worker who lives in St Aubin, admitted drink-driving.
He was sentenced to 120 hours of community service and banned from driving for three years following a hearing in the Magistrate’s Court.
The defendant was arrested after police were called at about 2.50 pm on 29 May to Route du Pont Marquet, where they found the defendant’s crashed Renault Clio.
He said that he had clipped a kerb and lost control of the vehicle.
A witness said that the car had been swerving across the road and at one point narrowly missed two elderly ladies and was close to colliding with two other pedestrians.
Advocate Michael Haines, defending, said that Ullmann had been drinking the night before and had stopped at 2 am.
The intoximeter reading was 95 mcg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood, when the legal limit is 35 mcg.
Relief Magistrate Sarah Fitz told first-offender Ullmann: ‘I felt I needed to mark the seriousness of the offending, the high level of alcohol in the blood and the bad driving.’
