I don't think the breathalyser results can be used in evidence at the lower aviation limit; a blood and/or urine sample will be taken and that is what will be used in Court, if it comes to that.

I suspect the police are waiting for the results of that test before deciding what course of action to take.

Follow this link to obtain a document detailing the procedure followed by the police in cases such as this. It's from a different police authority, but I'd expect all forces will have a similar procedure.

This is a document I'd suggest anyone carrying out an 'aviation-related function' should study; it makes for sobering reading.
