A 51-year-old woman has been handed a suspended sentence after being caught behind the wheel while over the alcohol limit.
Before Suffolk Magistrates' Court last month was Lucy Lankester, who is of Lancaster Drive in Martlesham.
She was charged with drink driving in relation to an Audi being stopped in Foxhall Road outside Ipswich on May 20.
Lankester was accused of having 157 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - the legal limit is 35.
The defendant admitted the charge when she appeared before magistrates the day after the incident and was back in court last month for sentencing.
Lankester was jailed for a period of 12 weeks, which was suspended for 12 months.
According to a court listing, the jail term was suspended as "there is a real prospect of rehabilitation with intervention from Turning Point to address alcohol misuse".
Lankester was also banned from the road for 36 months.
She was told to pay the Crown Prosection Service's costs of £85 and £154 in the form of a surcharge.
A collection order was made for the sums.
