A Pembroke woman who claimed she resisted arrest and swore at Police because they demanded she take a breath test for the second time in the space of a few hours has been fined $2,300.

Siobhan Dobson-Moran, of Warehouse Lane, insisted she had passed a test only hours before and was annoyed when officers demanded she stop her car and take a second one.

According to Crown counsel Cindy Clarke, the 22-year-old was stopped by Police on August 15 while driving into Hamilton on East Broadway.

Dobson-Moran immediately stepped out of the car but then refused to get back in the vehicle telling the officers: "I have already been through this f*****g s**t. I'm not f*****g drunk."

The officers placed Dobson-Moran in handcuffs, however she managed to slip out of them and had to be restrained against her car.

Asked to take an alco-analyser test, Dobson-Moran said: "I f*****g did it already and passed."

She eventually gave a breath sample which revealed she had 94 milligrams in 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80.

On Wednesday, Dobson-Moran pleaded guilty to driving with a blood-alcohol level above the limit, but denied being drunk. She said that the reason she lost her temper was that it was the second time she had been tested that evening.

"It was a big blow-up situation," she said. "I had been arrested earlier and I had passed. After being released, I went home to get a prescription, and that's when I got pulled over again."

Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner replied: "It appears they were right in pulling you over because you were over the limit."

He fined Moran-Dobson $1,000 and gave her ten demerit points and disqualified her from driving all vehicles for one year for driving while impaired. Mr. Warner also fined Dobson-Moran $500 for violently resisting arrest and $800 for using offensive words.

"You want to control your temper and your language," said Mr. Warner.
