A deputy head teacher at a leading private school crashed into a parked car and reversed into a lamppost before falling drunkenly out of her car and smashing her face.
Sozzled Kilgraston School junior head Dana Cooper needed stitches in her chin after staggering out of her badly damaged car and falling over in front of police. A court heard that Cooper refused to give a breath specimen to police after they found her car stuck on a raised kerb close to another secondary school.
Copper told police: "I believe I have reasonable excuse. I want to see a doctor and a lawyer." The 44-year-old St Andrews University graduate admitted a series of driving offences when she appeared in the dock at Perth Sheriff Court on Friday.
