A DRUNKEN woman who assaulted door staff and a police officer in her onesie was fined £305 by Haverfordwest Magistrates on Tuesday. Sherizanne Bowen, aged 42, of Milton Crescent pleaded guilty to two charges of assault and another of assaulting a police officer. Prosecuting, Ellie Morgan said: “On the night of September 21, at around 1.30am, security at a pub were confronted by a woman who was intoxicated, using foul language and causing a scene.

One of the door staff, Mr Gary Blount, warned her about her behaviour and added that he may call the police. “Her son-in-law managed to move her away down the road but she started shouting again before walking back up to the pub. She was making fists at the other person on the door but she was again pulled away. Gary Blount then stood in front of his female colleague to protect her as Bowen came back again.

The male she was with tried to restrain her and grabbed her to try and stop her and at this point the top half of her body became exposed. “Ms Bowen seemed to have no dignity but she did try to rearrange herself as if she was going to have another go at her. Bowen shouted the words: ‘I don’t care, I’m Sherizanne Bowen’ as the male tried to get her to go home but Bowen grabbed Jennifer Upshall by the hair and Gary Blount had to squeeze her hands to make her let go and her son in law had to pull her away again.

“She went away a short distance but she returned and then spat at Gary Blount and was also throwing punches. Police were called to the scene but they struggled to get her into the vehicle as her behaviour was appalling. When PC Talboys arrived she said to him: ‘you better tell them to f*** off or I’ll f***ing kick off’. The officer told her to calm down but again she said ‘f*** off’. Bowen then said: ‘mind your f***ing business’ and added that she would kick off. “It was at this point that she was arrested but she continued shouting obscenities.

She continued to be aggressive and suddenly kicked out making contact with the officer’s knee. She was eventually moved into the car but she still wouldn’t calm down and lifted her legs up. “The officer moved her legs down and she lunged forward and the officer thought she was going to bite him and managed to restrain her holding her head against the door. She began kicking wildly and at this point they asked for a caged vehicle to come. She called the officers c**** and there didn’t seem to be any reason in her. She threatened to spit again and refused to speak without being vulgar.

She kicked out again connecting with the officer’s right shin and screamed at the officer ‘I thought you were my f***ing friend.” Defending, Mark Layton said: “She has pleaded guilty at the first occasion. Her memory is blank but she accepts the prosecution case. She was wearing a onesie and no footwear, not the usual attire for going out on an evening. Miss Bowen can only assume that something has affected her at home and she has left her house and that has led to her actions and arrest. This has brought matters to a head as she is already on a community order.

She feels she has been doing positive work with the probation service. I’m sure the injuries sustained were very minimal but this was a totally unpleasant incident. I would ask that you resentence her for the offence in June and for this one and reset the clock with a new order.” Magistrates agreed and Bowen was given a new 18 month community order with supervision and an alcohol activity requirement. She was also ordered to pay compensation of £50 to each victim, a fine of £10, costs
