'I knew I was going to do something bad': Shop assistant, 26, got drunk and drove to McDonalds for midnight snack of Big Mac and fries
A shop assistant got drunk and drove to a McDonald's drive thru for a midnight snack, a court heard. Staff at the restaurant in Bolton said Antoinette Farley, 26, was virtually falling asleep at the wheel, swaying in her seat and slurring her words as she waited for her Big Mac and fries.
At Wigan magistrates court, Farley, of Perendale Rise, Bolton admitted driving whilst unfit through drink but said the offence occurred because she wanted to 'get out of her house' due to suffering a mental health crisis. She said she had been drinking heavily as she had been grieving over the death of her father ten years ago.
"He continued to observe her as he called the police. She struggled to drive to a nearby car park at a chemist so the manager went over and took the keys and remained with her until the police arrived. "At the time I was struggling greatly with my mental health. I have over the last 10 years been struggling with my mental health."I knew I was going to do something bad. I know it was the wrong thing to do and I really regret it. If I could take it back, I would.
