A FRENCHWOMAN was given the maximum fine of $250 on Thursday for throwing a wooden knife holder containing a chopper and two knives from her kitchen window. The items fell on the top level of a car park and no one was hurt.

Bionda Courbet Sandrine, 39, shed tears of relief after District Judge Jill Tan handed down the fine.

The financial adviser had earlier pleaded guilty to hurling the item from the 15th-floor of her Ridgewood Close condominium on Jan 27.
