The boss of Baxter’s Soup has been banned from the roads for drink driving after rushing her sick husband to hospital while over the limit.
Audrey Baxter, 50, was charged after blocking an ambulance bay as she parked her Range Rover in the car park on Christmas Eve.
Staff at Dr Gray’s Hospital in Elgin suspected she had been drinking and contacted police.

Today she admitted drink driving as she appeared at Elgin Sheriff Court.
Fiscal depute Shona Duncan said the businesswoman had arrived at the Moray hospital at about 9pm on December 24 when staff realised she was over the limit.
She said: ‘She was seen getting out of the drivers seat and assisting her partner into the accident and emergency department.’
The court heard staff then spoke to Baxter and noticed her breath smelled of alcohol.
Another witness was of the opinion that she was ‘clearly under the influence of alcohol’.

When police arrived at her house in Elgin, she told officers: ‘I know I shouldn’t have driven. My husband is sick and I had to take him to hospital.’
Defence lawyer Diane Turner said her client had attended a party a few hours before the incident and then returned home to prepare food for the next day.
Her partner had been feeling unwell and was asleep. She then had two large glasses of wine while cooking.
Ms Turner said: ‘She went upstairs to check on her partner and she discovered he was very unwell and he did require to go to the hospital.
‘She was unable to obtain a taxi and simply put him in the car. She was extremely concerned.’
Baxter’s partner was eventually diagnosed with gastroenteritis and dehydration and she was told to take him home and put him to bed.
Ms Turner said her client accepted full responsibility for her actions and apologised to the court on her behalf.
She said the loss of her driving licence would be a considerable inconvenience because she travelled extensively.
Sheriff Susan Raeburn fined Baxter £600 and disqualified her from driving for a year.
Baxter was given 14 days to make full payment.
