Judge Rees sentenced the defendant to 12 months, suspended for 18 months. She must complete a 15-day rehabilitation course, 150 hours of unpaid work and ensure she visits Swansea Crown each month before a judge to monitor her progress with regard to alcohol consumption. She is also disqualified from driving for three years.
