Drunk woman attacked police officer on night out before playing dead in street

A woman played dead in the street after she attacked a police officer on a drunken night out.

Chelsea Henley, 18, from Birchwood, slumped to the ground after kicking a patrol car, before she lay on the ground with her eyes closed as an officer battled to get her to her feet. Henley, who had been drinking heavily on a night out in Warrington, was advised to go home by an officer, but relatives looked on as she defiantly pushed the PC in the chest.

Henley, who works at McDonalds, was eventually bundled into a police van, where she kicked out at officers before being escorted to cells and left to sober up. At Warrington Magistrates' Court, Henley faced up to 12 months jail after she admitted assaulting an emergency worker and being drunk and disorderly.
