A local woman who was drink driving while banned, refused to give Police a breath test because they allegedly called her ‘pissy pants’. Police were called to the Gade car park in Watford after receiving reports of a driver trying to leave without paying. The woman was asked to move back from the car parks barrier, and did so reluctantly, flashing her lights and honking her horn as she did so. On exiting the vehicle, officers noticed her glazed eyes and inability to stand up straight. On hearing the officers do a name check, the drunk tried to flee the scene, but was stopped by the police present. On becoming aggressive, the woman was cuffed and taken to the police station, where she still refused to give a breath test. At sentencing, the woman did show remorse, promised to get a job and cut down on her drinking. She was banned from driving for three years, ordered to carry out 80 hours unpaid work and various programmes to help her with her problems. Sadly for the woman in question, this is not the only trouble she has had lately. Action by the District Council has led to the granting of a Possession Order against the woman and her 18-year-old son. The pair, of Parsonage Close, sees the Order granted against them by Hertford County Court following anti social behaviour injunctions handed out in December last year. As the Injunctions appear to have improved the situation since December, the date of the possession of the property has been postponed by the Court for as long as the Mother complies with the terms of the Order. As part of the Order handed out, the unnamed female must avoid all aspects of anti-social behaviour in relation to her neighbours. As a result, she has given written undertakings not to cause anti-social behaviour or cause any damage to District Council properties. She must also not encourage others in such behaviour. Patrick Odling-Smee, Director of Housing and Health at Three Rivers, said: "The Council takes breaches of tenancy very seriously and will take all necessary action in proven cases to stop such behaviour. Three Rivers is a safe district and it is important that tenants help to keep it safe. The support and bravery of neighbours in coming forwards, as in this case, can be vital to ensure a successful prosecution.” The council’s efforts were praised by Judge Barr, while he also commended the bravery of the neighbours who were willing to give statements. It was felt that the Council had no choice but to act in the way it did to prevent further disturbances to residents of Parsonage close. An Injunction, with powers of arrest attached, was also obtained against the woman’s 18-year-old son, on the grounds of anti-social behaviour. The Injunction will last for one year.
