Mum-of-two who got behind wheel after downing wine because her partner was out late slapped with 'sobriety tag'
A mum who was caught drink-driving after an argument with her partner has been slapped with a 'sobriety tag' to help curb her drinking.
Her 'eyes were glazed and her speech was slurred' as she spoke to the officers, the court was told. Two breath samples showed she was around four times the legal drink-drive limit but Green was unable to complete a full breath test procedure and she kicked out at a police officer as she was being searched.
Green seen 'swerving car all over the road' Clare Oliver, prosecuting, told the court: “This matter goes back to just after 1.30am on January 15 on Park Green in Macclesfield. Police officers saw a vehicle being driven erratically. There were no lights on and it was swerving to the side of the road. “She was interviewed the following afternoon. She said she had been drinking with a friend and had two and a half glasses of wine and then went to drive to another friend for a chat and got arrested.
“Whether it was a deliberate refusal, she clearly cooperated at the roadside and then because of the reading she was then taken to custody where she clearly cooperated for one reading. Whether reality set in or she was highly agitated as she is asthmatic. I do not think it was a deliberate refusal but she failed to provide.
"She has an awful lot of time alone," the solicitor said, “He had been away but had returned and had gone to watch a football match in Manchester. He went in the morning and came back later.
