A WOMAN was five times the legal alcohol limit and had two empty bottles of wine in her car when she rolled a 4WD into an Ashmore home.

Lisa Gai Pickett, 41, pleaded guilty to multiple charges in the Southport Magistrates Court yesterday, including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, using a mobile phone while driving, assaulting police and evading police.

Police followed the car and gestured for Pickett to stop when they pulled up at traffic lights.

Pickett was sending a text message. She shook her head at police and drove off.

Police followed Pickett along Southport-Nerang Rd but stopped the chase when it became dangerous.

Documents tendered to the court said witnesses saw Pickett’s car mount the kerb on Moora St, clip a tree before rolling over and colliding with a house.

“(Pickett) then said to one of these witnesses, ‘quick help me, the police are chasing me’,” the document said.

Pickett refused treatment from paramedics and then poked a police officer in the chest four times.

Police breath-tested Pickett who recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.267 per cent — more than five times the legal limit. Police also found two empty white wine bottles in her car.

Despite the dangerous driving, police gave a glowing summary of Pickett after she apologised to police the next day and asked for help with her alcohol problem.

“Police believe that (Pickett) is a person of good character and that the night in question she just made a terrible mistake.”

Magistrate Gary Finger sentenced Pickett to three years probation, disqualified her from driving for five years and fined her $6700.
