A woman has admitting assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.

Kimberley Cherianne Collister, of Royal Avenue West, Onchan, also pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly.

She will be sentenced on October 17 after a probation report has been completed.

Prosecutor Roger Kane told the court that police were called to Waverley Terrace in Douglas on March 30 at 2.50pm after receiving a report over concerns for Collister’s welfare.

The 29-year-old was said to be intoxicated outside a Chinese takeaway.

An ambulance was also called after Collister told police she had taken cocaine and valium as well as having been drinking. However, when paramedics arrived to take her to the hospital Collister refused to go.

She was eventually arrested for her own safety but was said to have struggled violently with police and swore at them calling them ’rapists’.

Collister then hunched herself over and appeared to be attempting to bite one officer as she continued to struggle, swear and shout.

She then kicked out three times, striking an officer on the legs until leg restraints were put on her.

Extra officers were called as it was becoming difficult to control Collister.

Once put in a police van she started to bang her head on the van and when she arrived at the hospital she had to be strapped to a bed as she was so violent.

The court heard that Collister was handed a suspended sentence in May for three police assaults and also made the subject of a six-month alcohol ban.

Advocate Matthew Wilshaw asked for a probation report to be prepared before sentencing and said his client was currently under the care of the mental health team. Bail was granted in the sum of £250.
