Galashiels woman appears from custody to admit second drink-driving offence
A 26-year-old woman appeared from custody at Jedburgh Sheriff Court and pleaded guilty to driving while almost four and a half times the legal alcohol limit.
Tammy Strafford of Bridge Street, Galashiels, admitted driving with a breath/alcohol count of 97 microgrammes - the legal limit being 22 - on the B710 Clovenfords to Bowland road on Sunday.
Sentence was deferred until May 21 for reports after the court was told she committed a similar offence recently.
Strafford has received an interim disqualification until sentence is passed.
