To be charged with a mid-range drink driving offense, someone must register a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of over 0.10 per cent but under 0.15 per cent.
Mid-range drink driving is the second most serious drink driving offence under Queensland law and carries a maximum penalty of six months imprisonment and/or a 20 penalty unit fine for a first offence.

When contacted for comment, a Channel Nine spokesperson said: 'This is a private matter of Ines’s which we understand is currently before the courts and we will not be commenting further.'
Ines is one of the most controversial brides from Married At First Sight's sixth season.
During her wedding to stripper-turned-entrepreneur Bronson Norrish, she behaved abrasively and threatened violence against her new husband.

Ines began to display unusual behaviour early in the episode when she was getting ready for her wedding, telling producers: 'I want him to look at me and think, "Wow, I would totally root her."'
But after first seeing her 'husband' smiling at her down the aisle, she was instantly turned off by his appearance.
'Can we get rid of your eyebrow ring please?' she asked, adding that the piercing would be better suited on a 'lesbian who works at McDonald's.'

'When [Bronson] smiled, I first wanted to punch him in the jaw. I don't know why, it was just like my instinct,' she said afterwards.
After Bronson delivered his heartfelt wedding vows, Ines complained that her husband wasn't what she'd asked for.
She also repeatedly shamed him for being a former stripper, calling his profession 'bottom of the barrel' and vowing that he would never father any of her children.

'Wow, Ines, you’re a nasty piece of work,' another viewer wrote.
