after she admitted riding while impaired.

Rebecca Edel Rebello, 18, of Table Rock Avenue, told Senior Magistrate Will Francis on Friday: "I plead guilty. But I was not drunk.'' Crown counsel Charmaine Smith told the court that at 5.20 p.m. Rebello was involved in an accident on Rural Hill, Paget.

When Police arrived, Rebello was being placed in an ambulance to be taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.

Eyewitnesses told Police she had been belligerent and appeared to be drunk.

Mrs. Smith said Police went to the hospital and noted Rebello's demeanour and that she smelled strongly of alcohol.

She told Police that she had consumed two drinks.

After receiving treatment for her injuries, Rebello took a breath exam at the Hamilton Police Station and was found to have at least 94 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood.

Mr. Francis fined Rebello $350 for riding while impaired and banned her from driving all motor vehicles for on year.
