A teenage driver who had been drinking alcohol was seen "swerving" along roads by police following an argument with her boyfriend.
Sophie Jackson was seen behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Polo when she "overshot" a junction and drove out in front of an unmarked police car. The officers then followed her home and she was seen "swerving" and "drifting" along roads until she pulled up to her driveway and "edged" into the wall of her house.
The 19-year-old was described as having "glazed eyes" and was "emotional" when officers arrested her on August 13 this year. On Tuesday, Jackson, of Newhaven Avenue, Sunderland, appeared at South Tyneside Magistrates' Court where she pleaded guilty to driving whilst being unfit through drink.
