A Marabella woman who was arrested for drunk driving after she was involved in an accident in Debe has been fined $7,000.
Anisa Seecharan, 33, a mother of one, admitted she was driving even though she was almost three times over legal alcohol limit.
She pleaded guilty yesterday before San Fernando magistrate Natalie Diop.
Court prosecutor Kassiram Lutchman said around 11.45 pm PC Sujeet Ramcharan was on patrol when he responded to a road traffic accident along the M2 Ring Road.
Seechara's speech was slurred and an alcohol odour was eminating from her mouth. She was administered a field sobriety test which she failed with a reading of 111 microgrammes. The legal limit is 35 microgrammes.
Two further tests done at the San Fernando Police Station to be used as evidence scored readings of 135 microgrammes and 129 microgrammes.
She was given two months to pay the fine or serve nine months in jail.
