A WOMAN was sentenced to three months in prison yesterday after admitting to kicking, biting, and throwing a chair at a police officer following a disturbance at a restaurant last weekend.
Senior Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr arraigned Averie Anderson, 31, on charges of causing harm, assaulting a police officer, disorderly behaviour, and disorderly behaviour in a police station.
Anderson reportedly caused a disturbance at Carnivale Restaurant on Paradise Island and refused to leave around 8.45pm on March 15.
When Corporal 3934 Maycock tried to arrest her, she resisted violently, cursing at him before kicking him repeatedly and biting his index finger.
While in custody at the Paradise Island police station, Anderson threw a chair at Cpl Maycock, hitting him in the leg, and continued to curse at officers.
She pleaded guilty to the charges and accepted the facts presented in court.
The magistrate sentenced her to three months in prison and informed her of her right to appeal.
Sergeant 3004 Forbes prosecuted the case.
