A 28-year-old Douglas woman has admitted common assault, resisting arrest, and obstructing police.

Katie Francis Jennifer O’Brien, of Demesne Road, had also previously pleaded guilty to being concerned in the production (importation) of class ’C’ drugs to the island and possession of class ’C’ drugs.

She will be sentenced for all offences on September 30 after a probation report has been completed.

Prosecuting advocate Barry Swain told the court that the first offences were committed on July 28 when a package was intercepted at the Post Office sorting office addressed to O’Brien.

It contained 2,057 chlormezanone tablets, which police said can be sold for 50p or £1 each.

O’Brien entered a basis of plea saying that she had not ordered the drugs but had agreed for it to be sent to her address while two men were staying with her in return for a £60 debt being wiped.

On August 4 at 1.32am police were called to O’Brien’s home after a report of a disturbance.

She answered the door with blood on her dress and refused to let police in shouting: ’You need a warrant.’

She tried to close the door but one of the officers put his foot in the door and gained access so they could check that there were no injured people inside.

O’Brien continued to protest and was subsequently arrested as she swore at police.

On August 13 a witness at Church Street in Douglas said they saw O’Brien run at a man and slap him after some shouting between them.

She was subsequently arrested for common assault.

Defence advocate Kate Alexander asked for a probation report to be prepared before sentencing.

Bail continues in the sum of £500 with conditions to live at her home address and to contact probation.
