AN Adelaide man will face separate drink driving charges after going to a police station to ask for directions.

The 27-year-old was breath-tested at the police station, charged with drink driving and had his license suspended on the spot.

Police say the man went to the Aldinga station, south of Adelaide, on Friday to ask for directions to a local school so he could pick up his grandchildren.

After being charged, the man left the Aldinga police station – and drove away.

Patrols later found him driving again, with his grandchildren in the car.

The man is due to face court next month.

How a 27-year-old has grandchildren makes about as much sense as his decision making…

If you have to kill three people during a robbery, make sure you do not leave your cell phone at the scene of the crime. And if you do leave your cell phone at the scene of the triple homicide, do not call your phone and then arrange for a place to meet in order to get your phone back…

Especially when the person giving your phone back to you is Officer Nieves accompanied by the rest of the East Bay Police Department.
