A teenager who bit a bouncer and slapped a police officer during a night out has been handed a suspended sentence.

Charlotte Kelly was also ordered to pay the doorman £200 in compensation and banned from entering licensed premises for 12 months.

She pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer, common assault, and being drunk and disorderly.

As we previously reported, during her previous court appearances, 17-year-old Kelly was on the dance floor at 1886 bar in Regent Street in Douglas on August 9 at 1.50am when she was approached by a bouncer who had been told she was under age.

She showed him ID which belonged to her sister and when he asked for further identification Kelly showed him a bank card in her own name.

The bouncer confiscated the ID and was escorting Kelly out when she was said to have wrapped her arms and legs around him, then bit his arm.

She fell on the ground and then tried to bite the bouncer’s leg before leaving the bar.

Police were then called to Bordello on Loch Promenade at 3.25am where Kelly was said to have lunged at another woman with both of them falling to the ground.

Police separated the pair and Kelly was said to have glazed eyes and be smelling of alcohol.

As police arrested her she slapped one officer in the face as she resisted physically and verbally while door staff helped to restrain her.

When interviewed by police later, Kelly told officers she was still trying to piece the night together but admitted she had borrowed her sister’s ID without permission.

She said she had been drinking tequila and wine before going out and had also taken medication.

Kelly, who lives in School Road, Onchan, said she had some recollection of a fight at Bordello but could not recall assaulting the police officer.

During a second interview she was shown CCTV footage but made ’no comment’ after viewing it, other than to confirm it was her in the footage.

The court heard that she has no previous convictions.

Deputy High Bailiff Chris Arrowsmith indicated that he would follow the recommendation of a probation report, which had suggested a suspended sentence supervision order as the most appropriate sentence.

Mr Arrowsmith referred to details in the report which he said he would not go into in open court.

Defence advocate Deborah Myerscough said that she supported the recommendation for the suspended sentence.

Kelly was sentenced to 14 weeks in custody, suspended for 18 months and made the subject of a 12-month suspended sentence supervision order.
