A BATLEY woman accused of drink-driving faces trial by magistrates.

Annerly Wales, of Stonefield Place, appeared before Kirklees magistrates in Huddersfield yesterday.

She is alleged to have driven drunk at Britannia Mills in Birstall on May 5.

The 41-year-old is also alleged to have driven otherwise than in accordance with a licence and used the vehicle without insurance.

Alex Bozman, prosecuting, said that Wales had been drinking and took her partner’s car following an argument.

He said that while she was reversing the vehicle she crashed into a concrete ramp.

Wales was arrested and tests revealed that she had 74 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.

The legal limit is 35mg.

Wales denies the charges.

She claims that she was under duress to drive the car after her partner assaulted her.

Magistrates agreed to adjourn her case until July 24 for a trial to take place.

Wales was granted unconditional bail.
