Bill LaHive, for Clarkson, said she had "considerable difficulties" with an autistic disorder and other mental health difficulties.
He added she had seen a psychiatrist and had also been to the Harbour drink and drugs counselling service.
Oh, poor lamb! Oh, the 'difficulties' she has!
Angela Furniss, for the Crown Prosecution Service, said police were called to the hostel because Clarkson was repeatedly striking and damaging the front windows.
She added she had been told she could no longer stay and appeared to be under the influence of drink or drugs.
Mrs Furniss said police tried to restrain her and Clarkson hit PC Brown twice to the face, though he was not left with any visible injury.
Mrs Furniss said Clarkson then bit PC Taylor on the hand in the back of the ambulance on the way to hospital. The court heard her skin was broken.
She added that in the second incident, Mr Hall had heard a "commotion" outside his home and saw Clarkson pushing and pulling another person.
He told her to calm down and she head-butted him to the face, cutting his lip.
Presumably she's now been locked up, so no-one else has to put up with her 'difficulties'?
Magistrates bailed her for a report to be prepared ahead of sentencing on January 30.

ReplyDeleteMental health difficulties but drinking, how about there is a big house on the outskirts of town and you are going to stay there for a long while because you are mentally ill and are incapable of looking after yourself in the outside world. If you believe that you are capable of looking after yourself, get a job stay sober and out of trouble.
If you can't and claim mental health problems its the big house, either that or prison your choice.
Where has she been bailed to?
ReplyDeletePresumably the hostel refuses to have the mad bitch back in, so what is happening? Is she living under a bridge; if so we may be lucky and the scrote will freeze to death before the trial.
People ask me why my house has offensive weapons to hand in every room - I just show them articles like this!
"Mental health difficulties but drinking..."
ReplyDeleteA common theme (that and illegal drugs).
"Where has she been bailed to?"
Good point! I suspect the hostel has had to take her in, though.
