Nilsson also admitted making a malicious phone call on Wednesday, June 9, and being drunk and disorderly in Blind Lane, Silksworth, on Friday, June 18.
And she pleaded guilty to failing to surrender to custody on Friday, September 10.
Prosecutor Paul Anderson said only: “Clearly your guidelines say the custody threshold is passed, at the least.”
Joanne Gatens, defending, said: “I accept that it’s an all options report.
“What I would say in regard of Ms Nilsson is that there’s been issues with alcohol for some time.”
Mrs Gatens said Nilsson was now seeking support from official services to tackle her alcohol issues.
Nilsson was granted conditional bail to appear at the same court for sentencing on Friday, October 8.
