A SERIAL offender has been banned from the roads for three years.

On Thursday at Alloa Sheriff Court, Clementine Macdonald admitted a number of charges.

The 34-year-old pleaded guilty to failing to provide a specimen of breath at Stirling Police Station for analysis to ascertain her ability to drive after she was reported as being under the influence at McDonald’s in Alloa on September 20, 2015.

Fiscal depute Ruairidh Ferguson told the court that the cops were called at around 2.30am by McDonald’s staff who had concerns about the accused’s ability to drive.

Officers picked her up in the car park and took her to Stirling Police Station. However she refused to be breathalysed, explaining: “Because you are intimidating me.”

The accused also admitted shouting, swearing and refusing to desist despite being requested to do so at her former home address in Alloa’s Earn Court on March 12 this year.

Macdonald also pleaded guilty to shouting, swearing, acting in an aggressive manner, and uttering abusive, sexual and homophobic remarks whilst in a cop car and at Stirling Police Station on September 4, 2016.

In addition, the accused also admitted failing to attend Alloa Sheriff Court without reasonable excuse when required to do so on December 21, 2015 and July 25, 2016.

Sheriff David Mackie admonished Macdonald, of Alloa’s Hillcrest Drive, for skipping court, but sentenced her to a fresh Community Payback Order with supervision for 12 months for the other charges.

She was also disqualified from driving for three years because of a past road traffic offence.
