A Brighton woman pushed a police officer and called her a ‘slag’ and a ‘tramp’, a court has heard.
Jessica Tipping, 36, pleaded guilty to assault by beating an emergency worker, when she appeared at Brighton Magistrates Court on February 3.
The court heard that police were called to a house in Hove at 7pm on January 10 to investigate an incident involving Tipping.
While attending, an officer tried to speak to Tipping, of Ghyllside, Brighton, about the incident and was pushed in the shoulder.
When the officer asked her to ‘calm down’ Tippling called her a ‘slag’ and a ‘tramp’, magistrates were told.
The court also heard that Tipping has a long-term alcohol problem and had no recollection of the incident.
She was fined £120, and ordered to pay a surcharge of £34 and costs of £85.
