A WOMAN has been handed a community order after she was caught drink-driving in a Herefordshire housing estate.
Joanne Morris admitted the offence when she appeared before magistrates in Hereford on December 2.
The court heard Morris had been caught driving a Dacia Sandero in Sycamore Close, Ross-on-Wye, on October 27.
An evidential blood test revealed the 46-year-old had 149 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35.
Morris, of Park Walk, Ross, received a 12-month community order and was disqualified from driving for 29 months. She was also fined £200 and must pay costs of £135 and a £95 victim surcharge.
