However, while walking in the carpark, she said her legs gave way and she was hit by a reversing car. Fallaize suffered injuries to her arm as well as concussion, and emergency services were called to the scene.
While speaking to Fallaize, a Guernsey Police officer smelt alcohol on her breath and breathalysed her at the carpark. Her reading was more than three times the legal driving limit, at 122 micrograms per 100ml of breath.

The defendant was then taken by ambulance to the Emergency Department for treatment.
About a week later Fallaize was interviewed at the Police station and admitted she had been driving under the influence of alcohol.
She was bailed and asked to attend court the following day but failed to turn up. Despite arguing that she had been in too much pain to get out of bed that morning, Judge Graeme McKerrell found the defendant guilty of breaching her bail conditions, calling her story “confused and not convincing”.
Taking into account her age and injuries, Judge McKerrell sentenced Fallaize to six weeks in prison for the two crimes, with a three-and-a-half year driving ban.
“You knew it was wrong to get in that car,” he said.
