Woman Jailed For Breaching Bail, Allegedly Drunk at School Pick Up in Port Stephens

BY ISABEL EVERETT

A woman suspected of being drunk while trying to collect a child from a Port Stephens school has been jailed after it was found she was on bail for other matters.

About 3.20pm on Wednesday 10th June,  school staff noticed the 60-year-old attempting to park out the front on the grounds, striking small bushes and trees.

She exited the vehicle and went to pick up the girl from school grounds, with staff attempting to stop her.

The woman allegedly became abusive and police were called, who attempted to submit her to a breath test.

She refused and reportedly became aggressive attempting to kick a Senior Constable.

It's also alleged she refused a second breath test at Nelson Bay Station.

The woman has pleaded guilty to a number of offences, with court documents indicating she was on bail for a number of other matters, with her bail now revoked.
