A woman found semi-conscious on a pavement in the early hours during a diabetic seizure was given an on-the-spot 'fixed penalty' fine by a policeman who thought she was drunk.
Heidi Read, 30, was being helped by paramedics when the officer arrived and issued the £80 fine, despite being told she was a diabetic and had already given the ambulancemen her insulin as proof.
Lincolnshire magistrates have now revoked the fine, which had risen to £120 after Miss Read received a summons for non-payment.
