An award-winning female sergeant was caught drink driving after she downed a bottle of wine when she stayed up late doing work, a misconduct hearing was told.
Special Police Sergeant Claire Mumford, 47, claimed she felt 'pressure' to get her reports done at home and stayed up until the early hours completing them while drinking.
The mother-of-three had drunk more than a bottle of wine by the time she eventually went to bed, it was heard.
The next morning, Sgt Mumford said she did not feel hungover but was pulled over after 11am while driving her minivan and then blew over the limit on a breathalyser test.
She has now resigned from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary following the incident on March 13 near Knighton on the Isle of Wight.
