Antrim woman was making arrangements for her wedding before being caught for drink driving
A woman who had been making arrangements for her wedding was caught for drink driving on the way home, a court has heard.
Kerrie Moorehead (31), of Mallusk Gardens in Antrim town, admitted driving with excess alcohol on January 3 this year.
A prosecutor told Antrim Magistrates' Court, sitting in Ballymena, police received a report of a possible drink driver.
Police saw the car on the Parkhall Road and stopped it. The defendant was driving and there were three passengers.
The court heard the defendant’s eyes were glazed. She smelt of alcohol and at a police station she had an alcohol in breath reading of 66 - the legal limit is 35.
The defendant had a clear record.
A defence solicitor told the court the defendant and her partner had been "making arrangements for their impending wedding" and had then gone for something to eat.
The defendant "foolishly" felt she was potentially alright to drive home, said the solicitor.
She has been banned from driving for a year and was fined £300.
