A CANADIAN tourist has admitted to assaulting a police officer and throwing her nose rings at him while intoxicated earlier this week.
Lauren Keen, 35, was arraigned before Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville yesterday on charges of disorderly behaviour, obscene language, throwing missiles, disorderly behaviour in a police station, and assaulting a police officer.
Keen, who was staying at Baha Mar, was reportedly arrested in the early hours of February 25 for disorderly behaviour and using obscene language.
While in custody at the Cable Beach Police Station, she allegedly continued acting disorderly. When Corporal 3930 Hield responded to the disturbance, Keen threw her nose rings at him, striking him in the face.
She pleaded guilty to all charges, apologised for her actions, and admitted she had been heavily intoxicated.
Magistrate Serville warned and discharged her.
Inspector Cordero Farrington prosecuted the case.
