Moray women admit attacking police

Two Moray women yesterday admitted attacking police officers in separate late night scuffles.

Pregnant mother-of-two Adele Taylor, 24, was in possession of class A drugs when she kicked a constable in the City Arms Close area of Elgin around 1am on October 27 last year.

Fiscal depute Kevin Corrins told the town’s sheriff court Taylor had been trying to push to the front of a takeaway queue after returning from a night-out in Inverness.

Another woman pushed her back and police at the scene took a hold of both of them.

Taylor aimed a kick at the other woman, but connected with a police constable instead.

After being arrested, her handbag was found to contain 0.8 grams of cocaine.

Sheriff Jack Brown said: “This behaviour is unacceptable. What compounds matters is you are the mother of two children with one more on the way, and you are found to be in possession of cocaine.”

Taylor, of 24 Caroline Street, Elgin, was fined £380.

In the other incident, Emma Bertram, 26, resisted arrest, kicked a policeman and bit a policewoman on the hand then spat at her.

The officers had stopped Bertram on City Arms Close after she had knocked Robert Alexander Campbell unconscious.

The female officer was left with a hairline fracture to her little finger following the attack, which happened on July 19.

Elgin Sheriff Court heard yesterday that Bertram, of 43 McMillan Avenue in the town, has been subject to a curfew on Friday and Saturday nights from 7pm to 7am since last summer.

Sheriff Brown said anyone who attacked police officers in the manner she had done could expect to go to prison, but in this case he would show mercy.

He sentenced her to 130 hours of community work, telling her: “I am aware that your liberty has been restricted since July last year.”
