Laura Hall admitted being drunk and disorderly and breaching the order 
 
 A woman who was the first person to be banned from drinking alcohol in a public place anywhere in England and Wales has been fined for being drunk. 
 
 Laura Hall, 20, admitted breaching the drinking banning order and being drunk and disorderly in a public place. 
 
 Redditch Magistrates Court heard she was arrested holding a can of beer in Bromsgrove early on Sunday. 
 
 Hall, of no fixed address, was fined £100, plus court costs of £85 and ordered to pay a £15 victim surcharge. 
 
 She was arrested by West Mercia Police just after 0200 BST after she was seen sitting on a wall with friends and holding the beer can in Worcester Road, a designated alcohol-free zone. 
 
 'Considerable problem' 
 
 Stephen Harris, prosecuting, said a police officer warned her not to drink any alcohol but she shouted, swore and said she wanted more beer from an off-licence. 
 
 Katie Oliver, defending, said Hall had been drinking at a friend's house on Saturday night and admitted having the can of lager in her possession but denied drinking from it. 
 
 She said Hall has a "difficult" relationship with her parents and a "considerable problem" with alcohol, adding: "She does not offend when she is not intoxicated." 
 
 The ban, imposed by magistrates in Kidderminster last month, prohibited Hall from entering a pub, bar, club or off-licence for two years. 
 
 She is also banned from buying alcohol in any public place across England and Wales. ||||| The first person given a nationwide 'booze Asbo' has been nicked for breaching her ban - as she drunkenly yelled at police officers: "I want to go to the f****** offie to buy some beer!" 
 
 Laura Hall, 20, became the first person in the country to be banned from buying or drinking alcohol anywhere in England and Wales last month after a series of drink-fuelled offences. 
 
 But police spotted her boozing in the street in her hometown of Bromsgrove, Worcs, on Saturday. As they arrested Hall for breaching her Drink Banning Order, they were subjected to a drunken, foul-mouthed rant. 
 
 At Redditch magistrates yesterday, Hall admitted being drunk and disorderly and breaking her ban. 
 
 Prosecutor Stephen Harris said the police officer who collared her knew she was drunk from her behaviour. 
 
 Mr Harris added: "PC Smith was aware from her demeanour, shouting and swearing in the street, she was under the influence of alcohol - she was holding an open can of lager. 
 
 "He approached her and said that she should not be drinking as the town centre was an alcohol-free zone. 
 
 "She shouted obscenities at him as she sat there with friends. Two minutes later, he saw her drink from a can. 
 
 "A colleague of PC Smith walked up and, as he did so, she put the can of lager behind her back.

 "Her friends took the can then Ms Smith walked over to the taxi rank and got into a cab. The driver asked her to get out and she did so and began shouting and swearing. 
 
 "She said, 'I want to go to the f****** offie to buy some beer'." 
 
 Katie Oliver, defending, said Hall had a serious drink problem. 
 
 Jobless Hall was fined £200 in total - £50 for being drunk and disorderly, £50 for breaching her ban, £85 court costs and a £15 victim surcharge. 
 
 She refused to comment as she left court. 
 
 Last month, a district judge in nearby Kidderminster described Hall as "all that is despicable and rotten in society" as he banned her from buying alcohol anywhere in the country. The DBO also makes her complete an approved alcohol-misuse course to help her curb her problem. 
 
 DBOs were introduced in September 2009 to stop known offenders who cause alcoholrelated trouble from entering specified licensed premises. 
 
 Guidelines say they may not be appropriate for anyone who is drink-dependent.
– Note to Laura Hall: Once you’ve been banned from every bar in the United Kingdom, it’s probably not a good idea to drunkenly yell at a police officer that you “want to go to the f****** offie to buy some beer!” But that is what Hall did early Sunday, after being caught drinking in public and shouting in the street, and was subsequently arrested and fined almost $300. Hall, who was slapped with the drinking ban last month after a series of alcohol-related offenses, admitted to breaching the order, the Mirror reports. In a supremely obvious statement in court, her lawyer said Hall has a “considerable problem” with alcohol, but insisted she “does not offend when she is not intoxicated,” the BBC reports.
