Stags captain faces drink-driving charge

Southland Stags captain Tony Lamborn is facing a drink-driving charge relating to an incident this year.

Lamborn was stopped by police in Dee St in Invercargill on July 17.

Following a breath test he undertook a blood test which showed a reading of 105 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.

The legal limit to drive is 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.

The matter was first called in the Invercargill District Court on September 30. No pleas were entered. Name suppression was not sought and Lamborn was remanded at large.

The matter has now been transferred to the Hastings District Court where Lamborn had returned to at the end of the Stags’ NPC campaign last month.

The 30-year-old former United States loose forward is expected to appear in court on December 7.
