The husband of Home and Away star Kate Ritchie had twice been convicted of drink driving before his most recent alleged offence.
Stuart Webb was allegedly caught running a red light in Sydney's eastern suburbs on March 26 this year, before blowing 0.083 in a roadside breath test.
Webb, an ex-NRL player who married TV soap star Ritchie in 2010, was charged with drink driving and driving while suspended, and issued a court attendance notice.
While court documents stated this was Webb's first offence, Daily Mail Australia can reveal the father-of-one has a track record of drink driving - having been found guilty in 2012 and 2017.

Stuart Webb was allegedly caught running a red light in Sydney's eastern suburbs on March 26 this year, before blowing 0.083 in a roadside breath test. He had previously been convicted of similar offences in 2012 and 2017
Webb's first offence occurred when he was caught mid-range drink driving after a Saturday night out in March 2012.
When police pulled Webb over they noticed he appeared to be affected by alcohol and performed a breath test, to which he blew in the mid-range.
He had spent the night drinking at the Bondi Surf Club where he had five schooners and an unknown number of vodka and cranberry juice mixes, he told officers.
In sentencing Webb, the Magistrate commended his regular fundraising efforts and also his participation in the traffic offenders' program.
He was fined $800 and ordered to pay $81 in court costs.
More than five years later he was again caught drink driving after police noticed him speeding on his black motorbike at Mascot, south of Sydney, just prior to Christmas.
Court documents reveal that police observed Webb driving at 20km/h over the limit about 10.20pm on December 18, 2017, and pulled him over.
Officers again noticed he had 'glassy and blood shot eyes' and
