• James Brennan, 30, was arrested after officers found him on Marshall Road around 2.15am on September 6. During the hearing, Brennan said he had a few drinks and passed out on his brother’s couch. He said he woke up to 14 missed calls from his wife asking him to bring her iron tablets.
Brennan insisted he just “pitched up” because he was not aware of the time.
