KROEGER CONVICTED OF DRINK-DRIVING

LATEST: NICKELBACK frontman CHAD KROEGER has been convicted of drink-driving.

CHAD KROEGER

The Rockstar singer was arrested on 22 June (06) in British Columbia, Canada after police stopped him for speeding. He was then charged with impaired driving and having a blood alcohol level over the legal limit.

The 33-year-old star pleaded not guilty to the driving under the influence charge in November last year (07).

Kroeger - real name Chad Turton - initially attempted to have the charges dismissed by accusing the police of illegally obtaining breath samples from him prior to his arrest.

The rocker's lawyer argued an officer conducted an unlawful search of his client's Ferrari after detecting the smell of alcohol on the singer's breath.

But a judge threw out the claims last month (Mar08).

The star will be sentenced on 1 May (08) and faces a $600 (GBP300) fine and a one-year driving ban.
