At 3am on Saturday, April 25, officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District stopped a black Lexus SUV on Macleay Street in Dubbo to conduct a random breath test.
The driver, a 39-year-old man, returned a positive result.
He was arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station where a subsequent breath analysis allegedly returned a reading of 0.156.
The man was charged with high-range PCA and is due to appear at Dubbo Local Court in July.
He was also issued a licence suspension notice.
Western Region Traffic Tactician, Inspector Ben Macfarlane, said the COVID-19 pandemic might be ongoing, but police were still be out in force and would continue to target drink driving offences across the Western Region.
"If you drink and drive, expect to be caught and have your licence suspended immediately," he said.
