A teenager from Douglas has admitted committing six offences during a three-week crime spree.
Lisa Nicola McGhee, aged 19, of Mona Street, pleaded guilty to two counts of threatening behaviour, two of making nuisance telephone calls, one of being drunk and disorderly, and one of property damage.
She will be sentenced on April 23 after a probation report has been prepared.
Prosecutor Rachael Braidwood told the court how McGhee kicked off her spree on March 21 when police were called to Tynwald Street in Douglas.
They saw McGhee sitting on the edge of the roof of the Yamaha garage with a juvenile.
Officers took the juvenile into their care for his protection but this angered McGhee who swore at them shouting: ’I’m not a threat to anyone.’
She was warned about her language but continued swearing, shouting: ’I’m going to commit all the illegal s**t I want. I will do what I want.’
Members of the public were witnessing her behaviour but she ran off before police could detain her.
However, McGhee then arrived at police headquarters and told desk staff that she had a knife and ’wasn’t afraid to use it,’ before being arrested.
On March 23, at 8.30pm, police were called to the Bowling Green pub in Douglas after staff there reported that McGhee was refusing the leave the premises.
When officers arrived the teenager had left but she then returned and began swearing.
She was said to be unsteady on her feet and flailing around and she was subsequently taken to Noble’s Hospital due to her intoxicated state.
Once at the accident and emergency department, she tried to leave several times and eventually had to be restrained by police using handcuffs and leg restraints.
McGhee’s crime spree continued on March 25 when she turned up at police headquarters saying she had been drinking.
She was then said to have stood spinning around and staring at the ceiling before swearing at police telling them where to go.
McGhee flailed her arms around and swore at police, shouting ’Get off me,’ as she was arrested again and charged with threatening behaviour.
On April 5, at 5.32pm, police received a 999 call from McGhee at her home address.
When the emergency services operator answered the teenager said: ’Yo Yo Yo.’
She was questioned as to why she was calling but then said she just wanted to say ’hi’ and gave her name as Lisa before hanging up.
Police traced the call to McGhee’s address and called her back, warning her about making unnecessary ’999’ calls. However, at 5.38pm the teenager called 999 again saying: ’Yo Yo hi.’
warned
She was warned again but then made yet another 999 call making similar comments at 6.03pm.
Witnesses also reported seeing McGhee running in and out of her house throwing eggs at cars.
She was arrested but once at police headquarters the teen damaged a cell by throwing food around and smearing it on the door.
The last of McGhee’s offences took place on April 9 when she made 16 calls to ’999’ between 7.20pm and 11.25pm. She followed that up with four more calls on April 10 between 9.43pm and 9.45pm.
During the calls McGhee said she was ringing for a chat, claimed she was dead, and said she needed pizza and a DJ.
The court heard that the teenager was bound over for 12 months in January for an offence of provoking behaviour.
High Bailiff Jayne Hughes refused a request for bail and remanded the teenager in custody saying that an Anti-Social Behaviour Order would be considered before sentencing on April 23.
