A man discovered unconscious at the wheel of a car in the middle of the road near Aughnacloy will discover his sentence at the end of the month.

East Tyrone Magistrate’s Court heard the defendant, 35-year-old Barry John O’Hagan from Upper Cranlome Road in Cabragh, plead guilty to a single charge of driving with excess alcohol in blood.

A report was made to police in the early hours of July 31 last year that an Audi car was facing the wrong way and parked in the middle of Carnteel Road. The driver was unconscious.
