A mother-of-two was more than twice the drink-drive limit when she was found in charge of a vehicle and a child. Lucy Dean was found to be drunk in charge of a Mitsubishi car on Trenchard Avenue in Thornaby.
Tests which were carried out showed she had 88 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35, reports Teesside Live. During the same incident she was drunk in charge of a child.
Dean has now been given 10 penalty points on her driving licence after she was convicted of being in charge of a vehicle whilst over the legal drink-drive limit. She was sentenced at Teesside Magistrates' Court on Wednesday after being found guilty of being in charge of a vehicle whilst over the prescribed limit during an incident on July 13.
