A mum left her kids in bed home alone to drive her mate home while drunk, leading to a police chase where she tried to disguise herself with 'anti-vandal' grease.
Magen Hendry, 28, had been drinking before she left her front door slightly open while her children slept at 3am on October 25, 2019. One of the sleeping children was pre-school age while the other was primary school age.
Teesside Crown Court heard how police spotted Hendry's black Audi A9 drive dangerously on Nelson Terrace in Stockton. Prosecutor Uzma Khas said the car had no lights on and was seen driving through red light at a junction on two occasions, Teesside Live reports.
