'Drunk and agitated' woman kicked police after finding lover with another partner

A woman lashed out at police officers after she found her lover with another female.

Nicole Ferns, 23, turned on constables Michelle Robertson and Alistair Martin at a property in Glasgow's Springburn on June 10, 2020.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard the officers were called due to reports of an "ongoing disturbance."

They found Ferns who was extremely drunk and agitated.

Ferns was asked to calm down but she repeatedly shouted and swore at the pair.

Ferns ignored warnings that she would be arrested if her conduct.

Prosecutor Lauren Aitchison said: "At this point, she attempted to strike PC Martin to the face."

Ferns was handcuffed before shouting: "I will kick your c***s in and I will dig yous."

Miss Aitchison added: "Ferns then kicked PC Robertson to the leg."

Ferns pled guilty to assaulting the two police officers and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.

Abby Russell, defending, told the court that Ferns is a first offender who had never been in trouble before.

The lawyer added: "The circumstances were due to Miss Ferns seeing her partner with another female.

"She regrets acting in this way.

"This has made her nervous and has put her off offending again."

Sheriff Charles Lugton fined Ferns, of the city's Possil, £420.

He said: "This was dreadful behaviour and I hope this is an isolated incident.

"You have not been in trouble before so I will deal with this more leniently than what I would have."
