Mum was four times over drink-drive limit - with two toddlers in the back

I'M NOT SORRY, DRUNKEN MOTHER TOLD POLICE WHO STOPPED CAR

- By WESLEY BOLBES

A DRINK-DRIVING mum told police she ‘wasn’t sorry’ after being caught four times over the limit with two toddlers in the back of her car.

Kirsty Jones, 36, drove erratically through the streets after downing ‘a bottle of wine and numerous vodka oranges’ in a pub.

The incident occurred just before 10pm on June 11 this year. Jones, in a Vauxhall Corsa, was seen turning off Naylorsfield Road onto Naylors-field Drive, Belle Vale, by a police officer, who had been alerted to her driving.

Prosecutor Paul Blasbery, at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday, said: “He was looking out for what was described as a Vauxhall cross as a result of a call that had been received from a member of the public to Merseyside police, expressing concern about this vehicle.

“They had informed the police that the driver had drunk a bottle of wine and numerous vodka oranges and got into the driver's seat of the car and there were children in the rear.

“There were indeed children in the rear of that vehicle. The children were aged three and two.”
