Woman who ruined sister’s wedding also ruined her baby shower five years later
A woman with a history of ruining her sister’s special moments has been banned from drinking for a month.
Sara Cox, 36, was spared jail after her latest spate of violence in which she was homophobic towards police and ‘donkey kicked’ one of them in the stomach.
She had been out for bottomless brunch at Frankie’s Bar in Chester on October 16 when she was refused more alcohol.
After being kicked out of the bar she claims she was thrown to the floor and landed on her front. People laughed and she lost her temper so she hit the door of Frankie’s repeatedly until the glass cracked.
Police were called and she immediately started lashing out at them, repeatedly shouting ‘faggot’, swearing and biting them.
When back-up arrived she kicked PC Lloyd-Richards in the stomach while he tried to arrest her and telling PC McGlynn ‘I will batter you in five minutes.’
Despite her history of drink-related violence she was ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work and ordered to stay sober for 35 days – including over Christmas.
In the 2018 incident at the same sister’s wedding she drank for 10 hours, attacked two police officers and had to be subdued with pepper spray after she tried to smash up their patrol car.
On another occasion she slapped a taxi driver while shouting racist abuse at him.
Cox, who has committed 41 offences including racially aggravated harassment and criminal damage, claimed she was horrified by what she had done.
Probation officer Louise Baker said: ‘She has been a binge drinker and in terms of the incident she had attended a bottomless brunch for her sister’s baby shower. She just drank too much and did not realise her limits.
‘She is very sorry for what she has done. In terms of the alcohol misuse she has actually stopped drinking. She has not drunk since October when this offence occurred.’
Cox was also ordered to pay £100 in compensation to the two police officers and the pub along with £234 in court costs.
Magistrate Jane Davies said: ‘We are not going to send you to jail because you have done so well in the last five years.
‘Since 2018, we have not seen you and that’s good.’
