Former Australian cricketer David Warner has resolved the legal matter stemming from an incident over the Easter long weekend, when he was pulled over by police.

The 38-year-old was driving his family home from a barbecue in April when he approached a random breath testing station in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. According to court documents, Warner stopped his vehicle just short of the checkpoint, prompting officers to approach the car.

Police observed Warner moving from the driver’s seat to another position inside the vehicle. Subsequent testing showed he had a blood alcohol reading of 0.059, which is above the legal limit for a full licence holder in New South Wales.

Warner faced Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday

Warner faced Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday, where he pleaded guilty to the charge of low-range drink driving. The court handed down a fine and a three-month suspension of his driving privileges, a penalty that aligns with standard outcomes for such offences.

In a brief statement outside the court, Warner’s legal team said the former opener accepted the decision and was focused on moving forward. The cricketer, who retired from international cricket earlier this year, did not comment directly to reporters.

The incident had drawn significant media attention given Warner’s high profile, but the matter has now been formally closed. No further legal action is expected.
