Barmaid Caught Driving Home After Boozy Party



A boozy East End barmaid - caught driving home at midnight while three-and-a-half times the drinks limit - was banned from the road for two years and eight months today (Tuesday).

Single-mum Tracey Fallon, 37, of Petticoat Square, Middlesex Street, Whitechapel pleaded guilty to driving her Renault Clio in nearby Aldgate on December 17, last year with excess alcohol in her breath.

City of London Magistrates' Court heard first-time offender Fallon - a part-time barmaid at the Still & Star pub, Little Somerset Street, Aldgate (pictured) - was stopped by police at 11:50pm.

She failed a roadside breath-test and at the police station gave a reading of 122 microgrammes - the legal limit is 35.

Fallon admitted drinking at a leaving party and described her decision to drive the short distance home as a: "foolish error of judgement."

She was fined £500, with £85 costs and ordered to pay a £15 victim surcharge.
