Police searched his car – where they allegedly found a nulla-nulla, machete, slingshot and cannabis seeds.

The 45-year-old local man was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, failing to submit to a drug driving test and carrying an offence weapon. He was also issued with a cannabis expiation notice and a six-month loss of licence.

He did not apply for bail and will appear in the Port Augusta Magistrates Court today. His vehicle was impounded for 28 days.
