A Castletown woman has admitted trying to butt and bite police as she resisted arrest.

Kimberley Alice Parker called officers ’nonces’ and said ’I hope your children die’ during the incident.

The 34-year-old had previously pleaded not guilty to the offence but on Tuesday changed her plea to guilty.

She will be sentenced in summary court on March 1 after a probation report has been completed.

Prosecuting advocate Rebecca Cubbon told the court that police went to Parker’s address at Bromet Road on March 26 last year at 8.45pm in relation to a matter that was not pursued.

Parker was said to be drunk and sitting on the floor.

She then started trying to inhale a can of deodorant through her jumper and was subsequently restrained by police.

Parker then called the police ’nonces’ and said: ’I hope your children die.’

She was taken to an ambulance but started trying to bite and butt police officers, and threatened to spit at them.

She kicked out until leg restraints were used to restrain her.

Once in the ambulance she started trying to interfere with equipment.

After being discharged from hospital she was interviewed at police headquarters and handed in a prepared statement saying she did not recall threatening to spit, but that she was in a state of shock, and had been drinking.

Defence advocate Louise Cooil asked for a probation report to be prepared before sentencing, with input from Motiv8 and mental health services.

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