A woman kicked an ambulance worker in the groin and headbutted a police officer in a St Stephen’s night rampage.
Chloe Gordon (25) admitted a charge of assault on the ambulance worker, assault on police and criminal damage to a police vehicle on December 26.
Derry Magistrate’s Court heard that police were called to assist ambulance staff at Queen’s Quay in the city due to a woman ‘kicking off’ with staff.
They observed Gordon kicking one member of staff in the groin.
Gordon was arrested and then spat in a police vehicle and headbutted an officer in the chest.
Defence counsel Eoghan Devlin said that his client, of no fixed abode, had been on the streets for a couple of weeks.
He said she had made full admissions and apologised for her actions.
A police officer told the court that when shown CCTV footage Gordon was “absolutely disgusted by her own behaviour.”
District Judge Barney McElholm said that it was with “some trepidation” he was going to impose a suspended sentence.
He sentenced Gordon to five months in prison suspended for three years and told her it was her “final chance.”
He also ordered her to pay £250 in compensation.
