Cigarette row led to police assaults

A court's heard a woman assaulted two police officers after calling them because her husband wouldn't make a cigarette for her.

Lorraine Hicklin was drunk on February 19 when she called police claiming her husband had hit her - but she changed her story, became aggressive and lashed out at the two female officers who responded to her call.

Appearing before magistrates this week, the 55 year old from Watterson Close changed her plea and admitted two counts of assaulting officers.

She was bailed on condition she doesn't enter licensed premises, buy alcohol or consume it in public and will appear again on June 12.
