Drink driver 'caught behind wheel with son, 10, on his lap'

A massage therapist who counts model Miranda Kerr among his clients has faced court accused of high range drink driving.

The father was pulled over with two children in the car, one on his lap.

Jamie Burdett promotes himself as a healer of stress, aches and pains but it was him that was in all sorts of pain as he faced court after his violent arrest made headlines last September.

Onlookers filmed as motorbike police took him into custody, in front of his two distressed children.

• The baby names banned in New Zealand - including one couple who tried to call their baby '/'

The 45-year-old Zetland man pleaded guilty to high range drink driving, reckless driving and resisting police after the mid-afternoon incident on Burke Street in Waterloo.

When police first spotted Burdett, he had a 10-year-old sitting on his lap. The child had his hands on the wheel but Burdett refused to stop for police, even running a red light.

When he finally stopped, officers took the keys from the ignition. He blew .248.

His website claims Model Miranda Kerr as one of his clients, giving him a wrap for his skills.

"Very few are as talented and as professional as Jamie or have the gift Jamie has of knowing what is needed," the website says.
