Telford Magistrates Court was told that Ann Wright had been stopped at the Lidl supermarket in Oswestry on July 26, 2024 after concerns were raised.
Charlotte Morgan, prosecuting, told the court on Tuesday that when officers attended they took her car keys off her.
"She tried to snatch them back," she said.
The court was told that 62-year-old Wright, of Pant Glas, Oswestry blew a roadside breath test reading of 168 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. The limit is 35mcg per 100ml.
But when Wright was taken to Shrewsbury police station to provide an evidential reading she failed.
