A FAST FOOD employee asked by her boss to travel to a town she was traumatized over ended up drinking before driving and had a high reading when busted by police.
Leanne Michelle Smith (also known as Robertson) pleaded guilty on December 14 in Rockhampton Magistrates Court to one count of drink driving.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Shaun Janes said police were conducting roadside breath tests at Yeppoon on November 19 when they intercepted Smith driving a white Hyundai Getz at 1.50pm and she had a blood-alcohol content (BAC) reading of .186.
