A heavy-drinking woman was “smashed” when she angrily “kicked off” at her mother’s home before aggressively assaulting police officers who turned up to help calm her down. She hurled nasty abuse at them and started struggling violently when she was arrested, Hull Crown Court heard.
Annilise Davies, 21, of Peel Street, off Spring Bank, Hull, admitted three offences of assaulting police as emergency workers on June 9. She was also in breach of an eight-month suspended prison sentence imposed on November 13 for being the owner of a dog that was dangerously out of control and caused injury to a woman on May 3 last year.
Stephen Welch, prosecuting, said that police were called to a domestic incident in Bacheler Street, west Hull, when Davies was causing problems at her mother’s home. They arrived at about 8.50am and saw Davies in the back garden.
She had been damaging property and kicking flowers. She became abusive, demanded that the police leave her alone and said that she hoped that they died of cancer.
“She appeared to be under the influence of intoxicants,” said Mr Welch. Davies continued to be abusive and hurled foul-mouthed insults. She tried to get into the house but was refused entry.
She hit an officer on the head with a water bottle and was arrested and handcuffed. “She resisted arrest and had to be forcibly brought to her feet,” said Mr Welch.
Davies kicked out at a policeman, hitting his leg. She continued to be uncooperative in the custody suite and kicked another officer. She repeatedly called them “nonces”.
When a female officer removed a necklace from Davies, the defendant tried to bite her on the knee. The officer could feel her teeth. Davies later said that she had been drinking in Hull city centre the previous night.
Ben Hammersley, mitigating, said that Davies would benefit from working with the probation service. Following the previous order in November, she had engaged well and attended appointments.
Judge Gurdial Singh said: “She has not helped herself and she could have no complaint if I sent her to prison. They were unpleasant assaults.”
Judge Singh told Davies: “You behaved aggressively towards three officers who were called after you kicked off at your mother’s address. They came to help.”
Davies was “smashed” at the time. “I am prepared to give you a final chance but enough’s enough,” said Judge Singh.
Davies was given a 90-day tagged alcohol abstinence order and 10 days’ rehabilitation. The operational period of the suspended sentence was extended by six months.
“My advice to you is to knock drink on the head and get on with the order,” said Judge Singh. Davies was warned that she would be brought back to court if she breached the order. “You will go to prison,” said Judge Singh.
The previous hearing in November last year, involving the dangerous dog, was told that a woman was out in Hull city centre when she was suddenly viciously bitten by an aggressive dog – knocking her to the ground and causing her to suffer two fractures of her pelvis. She also suffered 12 painful puncture wounds to her hand and wrist during the horrific unprovoked attack and she was advised to use a walking frame for six weeks.
The Cane Corso dog had been tied to a tree while its owner was inside a phone shop trying to get a refund – but its muzzle slipped shortly before the dog “lunged” at the victim, the court heard that day. The woman had been shopping and, during the afternoon, Davies was inside a phone shop for about an hour-and-a-half.
She left her dog tied to a tree. It had been barking and panting and was becoming distressed. Davies left the shop on a number of occasions to check on the dog.
A witness saw a member of the public try to stroke the dog and she warned Davies, who left the store and asked him not to approach the dog as he was not friendly. She placed a muzzle on the dog, tied him back to the same tree and went back into the store.
At about 4.50pm, Davies left the shop and approached the dog to untie him from the tree. The muzzle had slipped around his neck.
The woman who had earlier been shopping left Victory Amusements next to the shop and the dog lunged towards her and latched on to her right wrist. She was knocked to the ground by the dog, which was pulled away from her.
The woman was helped by members of the public at the scene but she reported pain in her leg. A witness heard Davies shout: “You shouldn’t have gone near my f***ing dog. If the dog gets put down, you will all know about it.”
The woman was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary by police, who were in the area. She was brought in by wheelchair as she was struggling to walk or get out of the police vehicle. She had a CT scan the following morning and this showed that she had two fractures to her pelvis. The woman had 12 puncture wounds to her hand and wrist.
Davies was, at the earlier hearing, given an eight-month suspended prison sentence and 10 days’ rehabilitation.
