Australian national broadcaster ABC reported on Tuesday that a police officer approached the vehicle and performed a breath test on Warner, which returned a positive result.
He was arrested and taken to a local police station, where he was charged with medium-range drink-driving, ABC and other local media reported. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 7th.
Police outlined the incident in a statement but did not name the former Australian opener, who retired from international cricket in 2024 after scoring 8,786 runs in 112 Tests.
He most recently played for Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League last week.
Warner also played for Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League.
The left-hander played his last Test against Pakistan in January 2024 after a 13-year career at the highest level in the game’s longest format, before making his T20 and one-day international debuts for Australia in January 2009.
