A Douglas woman who left her home to go to the Graih shelter after a late night row with her partner has been jailed for four weeks.

Stacey Townsend, 42, of Hazel Close in Douglas, pleaded guilty to failing to self-isolate on October 24 by travelling to the homeless shelter.

The court heard she had arrived back on the island on 21 October and was required to isolate at home until 5 November.

At about 3am on Saturday she took a taxi to Graih and told the driver she had returned to the island just two days before.

The taxi driver later informed the police who arrested her.

She was sentenced by Deputy High Bailiff Chris Arrowsmith on Monday morning.
