That was amended to one of being in charge of a vehicle while over the drink drive limit, with the offence alleged to have occurred in the Lon Rhosod area of Newtown on April 8. Prosecutor Helen Tench said the charge was being amended.
It is alleged Grossman, who spoke via an interpreter, provided a reading of 114 micrograms of alcohol in his breath to police – the legal limit is 35 micrograms. He entered a not guilty plea.
His trial is due to take place in Welshpool on July 6. His previous conditional bail was amended to unconditional bail by the court.
