A mum-of-three tried to assault two police officers after calling one of them to her house herself.
Paula Heathers repeatedly kicked one police officer as he tried to leave her house in Broadgreen and then attempted to headbutt another police officer after being arrested.
She then went on to try to headbutt an officer while in custody.

The 51-year-old had been spared jail earlier this year but her assault on the officer in her home meant she breached two suspended sentences.
One of those suspended sentences had seen her attack police on a separate occasion. The other saw her use her account to store money that her then-partner had obtained by stealing cars and selling them.
Despite these previous offences, Liverpool Crown Court heard Heathers attacked police at her house on The Green in Broadgreen earlier this year.
Jade Tufail, prosecuting, said officers were sent to the house after Heathers called police and said someone had damaged her TV.
When officers arrived they found no damage to the TV but reported that Heathers herself was drunk and "ranting and raving". She then began picking up the TV and smashing it down on the stand herself.
When the two officers decided there was no need for them to stay there, Heathers refused to let them leave, dragging one of them back into the house and kicking him repeatedly in the knee as he held on to the doorframe.
After being arrested for assaulting the officer, Heathers then tried unsuccessfully to headbutt another officer while in custody.
It also emerged during today's sentencing hearing that Heathers had been ejected from the unpaid work placement she was supposed to be undertaking as part of the terms of her suspended sentences due to her problems with alcohol.
The court heard she had gone to that work placement drunk and been so aggressive to probation staff that they decided she could not continue there.
David Woods, defending, said Heathers was deeply remorseful and that her character changed significantly when she was drunk.
He said she had completed court ordered alcohol addiction programs but that it was clear this had not addressed her severe alcohol addiction.
Mr Woods said: "She is a woman who has a great deal of problems.
"She has a serious drinking issue, she is addicted to alcohol. It is affecting her and affecting her life.
"Her behaviour in drink is not what it would be were she sober."
He pointed to her position as a parent and appealed to the judge to avoid sending her to jail if possible. One of Heathers' teenage sons lives with her while the other lives with her daughter.
Despite this, the judge, Recorder Andrew McLoughlin, said he "could not find any circumstances that would not justify implementing some of the suspended sentences imposed on [Heathers]".
Recorder McLoughlin said Heathers' run of offending teamed with the fact that she had assaulted the officer while serving not one but two suspended sentences meant she had to go to prison.
Heathers, of The Green, Broadgreen, was sentenced to ten months in prison.
She has 19 previous convictions for 35 offences, including numerous violent offences and a number that involve assaulting police officers.
