Woman lashed out at police officers who were trying to help

48-year-old fined for being drunk and disorderly

A Castletown woman has been fined £350 after shouting and swearing at police officers who'd come to her aid.

Louise Arthur, of King Williams Way, admitted being drunk and disorderly near her home during an appearance at Douglas Courthouse.

Officers had approached the 48-year-old, just before 10pm, on 9 July after concerns were raised about her welfare; they offered her assistance but she became abusive.

Arthur’s advocate said his client had been dealing with personal issues at the time adding: “She apologises for her actions.”

Ordering Arthur to pay prosecution costs of £125 magistrates told her: “You need to be careful when you go out drinking. We accept you were upset on that day.”
