The court heard from prosecutor Mark Hambling that the 18-year-old, who was represented at the hearing by defence solicitor Chris Read, had assaulted two police constables and a special constable, who were acting in the course of their duties, by beating in an incident in Hereford on June 22.

Powell, of Chestnut Drive, Hereford, was handed a 12-month community order for the offences, but no compensation was ordered to be paid as there were no lasting injuries to any of the officers.

She was also fined £50 and ordered to pay prosecution costs of £185 and a £114 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
