FORMER AFL player Liam Jurrah has been fined $1100 after being caught behind the wheel with a blood alcohol reading more than five times the legal limit.
Jurrah, who is in custody in Alice Springs over allegations of assault against three women, did not appear in Adelaide's Elizabeth magistrates court on Tuesday when he was sentenced by magistrate Paul Foley.
An audio-visual link from the court to Alice Springs failed but his lawyer Joanna Caracoussis said the 24-year-old was happy for the matter to proceed.
The former Melbourne footballer pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol in Adelaide on January 14 and to breaching conditions of a provisional licence.
He was found to have a blood alcohol reading of 0.26. As a p-plater, he is not allowed to have any alcohol in his system while driving in South Australia.
Mr Foley fined him $1100 and disqualified him from driving for two years.
He also fined him $700 in another matter for breaching two court orders banning him from going to an Adelaide address.
Ms Caracoussis said Jurrah had been drinking with family on January 14 and had become involved in a dispute, before driving the car while intoxicated.
Police had observed him to be drowsy with bloodshot eyes and slurred speech.
Ms Caracoussis said that on a later occasion, he had travelled in a car with a relative and had not realised the driver was going to the address Jurrah was banned from attending.
But when he saw police, he panicked and hid on the roof of the house.
The magistrate noted Jurrah's work with troubled youth, his sporting and other awards and his lack of any previous convictions.
