The sister-in-law of Hollywood star George Clooney has been jailed after she was convicted a second time for drink-driving here.
Tala Alamuddin Le Tallec, 47, a Singapore permanent resident, was yesterday jailed for three weeks and fined $6,400 for drink-driving, driving without a licence and driving without the required insurance.
A fourth charge for driving without the car owner’s consent was taken into consideration. She will also be disqualified from driving for four years after her release from prison.
The court heard that on the night of May 13, Le Tallec drove her husband’s car to meet a friend at a restaurant in Dempsey Road.
She drank two glasses of wine and a glass of champagne before leaving the restaurant at about 2am the next day.
But while driving home, she was stopped at a police roadblock on Holland Road towards Ulu Pandan. Her friend was a front-seat passenger of the car.
At the roadblock, the police observed that she appeared to have difficulty finding the car’s handbrake, and she smelled strongly of alcohol.
