More DUI. Nickelback man Chad Kroeger has had a set back in his attempts to overturn a driving under the influence charge. As previously reported, Kroeger was stopped for speeding in British Columbia last year and was arrested after a police officer smelt alcohol on his breath. The rocker's legal people were hoping to get their client off on the basis officers didn't follow accepted procedure after pulling him over, even though a breath test allegedly showed he was over the limit. But Judge Peder Gulbrandsen said yesterday that the police had operated professionally given the circumstances, and that their action should not affect the legal case against Kroeger. The case will therefore now continue on 12 Mar.
