South East Northumberland Magistrates’ Court heard a breath test recorded 165 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35.
Melville was temporarily banned from driving while the case was being dealt with.
He was remanded on unconditional bail and will reappear at South East Northumberland Magistrates’ Court on December 2.
