A businesswoman caught driving with a high level of alcohol was remanded on bail for reports when she appeared at Feltham court.

Jacinta Bourke, aged 44, of Woodside Court, Ealing, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol at Isleworth on February 15.

Prosecuting, John Herratty, told magistrates that she was stopped at Isleworth and as she smelled of alcohol was breathalysed and arrested. A later test showed she had 95 microgrammes of alcohol to each 100 millilitres of breath, where the legal limit is 35. Representing her, Robert McCarney, said that she had been to friend's house for a party. There had been a row between her hosts and she decided to get home, although she had earlier arranged to stay because she had been drinking.

Magistrates told her that it had been such a high reading they wanted reports on her.
