"A roadside breath test was carried out which provided a positive result and the accused was arrested.”
Ogg’s defence lawyer said his client was employed as a care assistant at a care home in Glenrothes where she had worked for five years.
He said: “Miss Ogg will keep her job as it does not require her to have a vehicle. It will not be an easy journey for her to get to Glenrothes each day but she appreciates that is the consequences of her actions. She is in a position to pay a fine.”
