A Llandybie woman has been jailed for 12 weeks, suspended for 18 months, after she admitted assaulting three police officers in two separate incidents and urinating on the floor in her cell – twice.

Linda Ann Wyatt, of 103 Cae Coed, also admitted headbutting a member of the door-staff after she was ejected from a Llanelli nightclub.

Llanelli magistrates were told how police were summoned to the town’s Met Bar on the night of May 24 after CCTV operators spotted staff struggling to deal with “a violent female”.

Wyatt, aged 25, had been thrown out of the premises after becoming involved in a fight with another woman inside.

Doorman Sonnie Presley told police that in the course of removing her from the pub, Wyatt had headbutted him and bitten him on the right arm.

Throughout the course of the conversation, Wyatt had continued shouting and screaming abuse at the doorman.

Wyatt resisted arrest and four officers were needed to subdue her.

During repeated outbursts as they attempted to place her in the police van, she attempted to bite another officer and had to be repeatedly taken to the floor before eventually being placed in limb restraints.

When she arrived at Llanelli Police Station, Wyatt continued to be violent in the custody suite and tried to fight officers as she was taken to her cell.

“Three officers had to take her to the floor in her cell before others were able to remove her clothes,” prosecutor Ellie Morgan told the court.

“As they tried to leave the cell she sprang to her feet and assaulted PC Samantha Dawson by grabbing her by her vest and kicking her three times in the groin.”

Only when the officers drew their CS spray did Wyatt release PC Dawson.

The following morning, Wyatt was seen on the cell’s CCTV system to get up from her bed and walk to the corner of the cell where she squatted down and urinated on the floor, despite the cell having a functioning toilet.

While urinating, she made an obscene gesture to the camera.

When PC Wilkins later went to visit Wyatt in her cell she attacked him.

“She sprang at him and grabbed him,” Ms Morgan told the court.

“There was a struggle and they both went to the floor with the officer banging his head on the wall.”

Having then thrown her breakfast all over the walls of the cell, Wyatt was again seen on CCTV urinating in the corner of the cell.

In a separate incident on June 10, Wyatt assaulted PC Wyn Davies when he arrested a male friend of Wyatt.

Ms Morgan described how while PC Davies was dealing with the male, Police Sergeant Carwyn Templeton spoke to Wyatt on the roadside.

“She told him to stay away from the car she was in as he had no warrant to search it,” Ms Morgan said.

Due to her demeanour, she was arrested on suspicion that she was intoxicated.

A struggle then broke out between Wyatt and Sgt Templeton.

When PC Davies came to assist, Wyatt “scrammed” him down the right side of his face.

Wyatt was taken to the ground, but when she was made to stand again she attempted to spit in PS Templeton’s face.

Gareth Jones, appearing for Wyatt, said she was “deeply remorseful for her actions”.

Wyatt pleaded guilty to three charges of assaulting police, one of assaulting Mr Presley and one of criminal damage to a police cell.

Magistrates told Wyatt that each of the assault offences “passed the custody threshold”.

She was jailed for 12 weeks for each assault and six weeks for criminal damage, with each sentence to run concurrently. The jail term was suspended for 18 months.

She was ordered to pay £50 compensation to each of her victims and £132 to Dyfed-Powys Police to cover the costs of cleaning her cell.

She was ordered to take part in rehabilitation activity programme and pay £85 prosecution costs and a £150 court charge plus an £80 victim surcharge.
