Magistrates' Court to obstructing Police and using offensive words.

And the vice-president of Centre Re Insurance, Christine Allaire, also admitted to destroying a Police uniform and refusing a breath sample for analysis on December 12 last year.

But Allaire, 37, of Appleby Lane, Paget claimed she had no recollection of the events.

Crown counsel Leighton Rochester said that around 3 a.m. Police were patrolling Front Street, Pembroke when they saw Allaire driving a white car at high speed.

The officers followed her along Crow Lane where she collided with an orange marker cone and then up Lane Hill to Middle Road in Devonshire.

When pulled over, Allaire became agitated and claimed the officers were mad because she was a Canadian millionaire.

She was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving at which time she used offensive, abusive and insulting language toward the officers.

While at Hamilton Police Station, Allaire refused to complete an alco-analyser test and punched a woman officer in the breast, tearing off a pocket from her shirt.

Allaire's lawyer, Saul Froomkin, yesterday asked the court to take into consideration that such behaviour was out of character for his client.

He added that she had earlier taken allergy medication which reacted with the alcohol she drank, causing her act in the manner she did.

Allaire also addressed the court, saying although she could not recall the incident, she was still "very ashamed and embarrassed''.

"I would like to apologise sincerely to anyone I may have offended,'' she said.

Senior Magistrate Will Francis fined Allaire $250 for obstructing Police, $50 for damaging a Police uniform, $200 for using offensive words and $450 for refusing to give a breath sample.

He also banned Allaire from driving all vehicles for the next 12 months.
