A teenager from Peel has admitted assaulting two police officers, spitting in the face of one of them.

Latisha Rose Thomas, aged 17, of Rheayrt Aalin, will be sentenced on December 3 after a probation report has been completed.

A third charge of being drunk and disorderly was withdrawn by the prosecution in light of the other guilty pleas.

Prosecuting advocate Barry Swain told the court that paramedics were called to Peel Hill on September 12.

They were trying to assist Thomas who was said to be drunk and with a group of juveniles.

Police were called after the paramedics had difficulty dealing with Thomas and when officers arrived they reported that she was slurring her words, unsteady on her feet, and had glazed eyes.

Thomas spat in the face of one officer and kicked another on the leg.

The court heard that she is due to face a trial on December 3 in front of Deputy High Bailiff Chris Arrowsmith for a common assault charge relating to a separate matter which she has previously denied.

Defence advocate Ian Kermode asked that sentencing for the two police assaults be dealt with after the outcome of the summary court trial. Bail continues.
