A 34-year-old man is currently in Police custody in relation to a crash that occurred in Tiwi this morning.

Police were alerted to the crash after a member of the public heard a car screeching around the corner and then a bang on Tiwi Gardens Road at about 4:50 am.

Members located a Toyota Hilux with minor damage situated in the middle of the road with two occupants inside. St John Ambulance members also attended and observed the occupants to be uninjured. Due to the occupant’s aggressive behaviour, they could not be assessed at the scene.

The driver, who was fully naked, was subjected to a road side breath test and arrested after failing to provide a sample. Upon being removed from his car, the male proceeded to spit on the face of one of the members.

The man was taken to the Darwin Watch House where he provided a breath analysis reading of .154%.

He is expected to be charged with high range drink driving and assault Police later today.

A 27-year-old female passenger received a drug infringement notice for the possession of cannabis.
