A Casino woman caught driving completely naked told police she had drunk 10 schooners of beer, two cans of beer and a whole bottle of wine before getting into the drivers seat.

Just after midnight on February 20, police stopped a Holden Commodore sedan driving slowly and without its headlights on. An officer approached the vehicle and found Cynthia Fay Dickson stark naked and under the influence of alcohol.

Dickson blew a mid-range blood alcohol reading of 0.135.

"That's bad, I am fu**ed. Who cares, you just learn not to do it again," Dickson responded when police read out her blood alcohol level.

Dickson told police in an interview that she had drunk 10 schooners of XXXX beer at a pub before going home and drinking another two cans of XXXX and a whole bottle of wine.

According to police facts, Dickson "did not have one stitch of clothing on or any footwear, her speech was slurred and difficult to understand, her eyes were glassy/bloodshot and the vehicle reeked of alcohol."

When questioned about being naked, police said Dickson was "rather calm and collected". She told police she had decided to take a drive to Lismore.

Dickson told police in an interview that she had drunk 10 schooners of XXXX beer at a pub before going home and drinking another two cans of XXXX and a whole bottle of wine.

It is alleged Dickson drank the alcohol between 5.30pm and 11.25pm.

Dickson appeared at Casino Local Court on Wednesday and pleaded guilty to mid-range drink driving. Her license has been suspended for six months.
