A Doha Criminal Court has sentenced an Asian expatriate to three months in jail for driving in an intoxicated state.

The court also fined the man QR10,000 and suspended his driving licence for one month because he jumped a red light, local Arabic daily Arrayah reported.

According to the details of the case, the man was driving recklessly on D-Ring Road under the influence of alcohol and nearly caused an accident.

A police officer saw the man and stopped him and the traffic police also arrived at the spot. The man was eventually arrested and a blood test proved that he had consumed alcohol.

Accordingly, the court found the man guilty and convicted him.
