A 37-year-old woman has been fined £600 after admitting disorderly behaviour at the Mitre in Ramsey.

Katie Birchall pushed a woman and grabbed her by the hair during a row at the pub.

Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood also ordered her to pay £50 prosecution costs.

Prosecuting advocate Annie Bannister told the court that Birchall was at the Mitre on March 29, at 12.50am, when an argument took place.

Birchall was said to have pushed the woman to the floor.

After that, they resumed talking, but Birchall was then said to have grabbed her by the hair.

Staff separated them and Birchall was said to have called the police, reporting that she had been assaulted.

CCTV footage was subsequently reviewed by police and Birchall was arrested.

Advocate Kaitlyn Shimmin appeared for Birchall, who lives at Derby Square, Douglas.

Ms Shimmin said that her client had pleaded guilty at the first opportunity and had no previous convictions.

The advocate said that Birchall didn’t often drink and had not drunk since the incident.

‘She is embarrassed to be in front of the court, but has taken responsibility for her actions, and wishes to apologise to the court,’ said Ms Shimmin.

The Deputy High Bailiff said: ‘This is obviously unacceptable behaviour to take place on licensed premises, involving pushing and grabbing hair.

‘Not insignificant behaviour, and clearly under the influence of alcohol.’

Birchall agreed to pay her fine and costs at a rate of £50 per month.
