A Northland teacher has admitted she's an alcoholic, after incidents including two drink driving convictions, and testing positive for alcohol on a school day.
Michelle Beryl Campbell from Kamo had already been convicted of drink driving in 2014, when on May 3 this year, police officers found her drink-driving a second time.
Campbell had misjudged a right-hand bend, mounted the kerb, and hit large rocks on the grass verge. After bouncing over the rocks, her car crossed the centre line and almost hit the kerb on the opposite lane.
She continued to drive, and was later found by police at the home of her partner.
Campbell was disqualified from driving for 28 days, but was discovered driving to work two weeks later.
