A man blamed his alleged erratic driving "mistake" on his cousin before begging a magistrate to send him to hospital instead of jail, which he said would "actually destroy" him.
Bonner resident Chol Garang Mayen, 32, was pulled over by mobile patrol police after allegedly driving erratically on Gundaroo Drive in Gungahlin on Wednesday, ACT Magistrates Court documents state.
He has been charged with failing to provide a breath sample, providing a false name or address, driving while disqualified, breaching a good behaviour order and breaching bail. He has not entered pleas.
