Fox Sports’ James Hooper learns fate after drunken car crash in Sydney
Former Fox Sports’ NRL reporter James Hooper has been banned from driving for two years after drunkenly smashing his ute into multiple parked cars in Sydney’s inner west.
Hooper reportedly told police, “You got me … I’m blind,” before returning a breathalyser result suggesting he was five times over the legal limit.
On Monday, Hooper was convicted of high range drink-driving after entering a plea before the Downing Centre Local Court. Three counts of not giving his details were not entered on his criminal record, although he was found guilty.
Magistrate Christine Haskett disqualified Hooper from driving for two years and ordered him to an 18-month community corrections order, which is effectively a good behaviour bond.
The sacked NRL reporter crashed into three parked cars while driving his ute drunk in Leichhardt last month.
