A DRUNKEN mum-of-one who smashed a police woman’s teeth in and then gloated about it on Facebook, has been locked up for 10 months.

Barefoot Suzanne Marie Porter, 25, had also shown her bottom and urinated in the street when police were called to a rowdy gang in the early hours in Clitheroe town centre.

Porter, who has a previous conviction for violence and intimidation, also left victim PC Kirstie Pitcher with a damaged nose after she punched her in the face, Burnley Crown Court heard.

Porter ‘celebrated’ what she had done on the social media site.

Prosecutor Joseph Allman said: “She was gloating about the incident. She posted a picture of her blood-stained dress with the comment ‘Ruined’.

“One of her Facebook associates says ‘All she will want for Christmas is her two front teeth’. The defendant replied ‘ha, ha’. The posting, along with another, a picture of a broken tooth, again accompanied by ‘ha, ha’, added to the victim’s distress and disgust over her ordeal.”

The court was told how Porter’s equally intoxicated brother, Gary David Place, 29, was also part of the group of about 10 people and was involved in trouble in the ‘intimidating and volatile’ situation.

He had threatened police with her stiletto shoes and had been taken to the ground before Porter hit PC Pitcher, knocking her off her feet and over her brother.

Porter, of Highfield Road, Clitheroe, had earlier admitted assault causing actual bodily harm on May 12 and had been committed to the crown court for sentence by Pennine magistrates.

Place, of Pendle Avenue, Chatburn, had pleaded guilty to using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour at the lower court and was fined £75, with £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.

The hearing was told at 1am, after Porter had left the White Lion, police were called to a rowdy group. They were asked to move on and go home, continued to walk through the town centre, were kept under CCTV observations and were spoken to by officers again because of their behaviour.

Police were driving down Wellgate when Porter went out into the middle of the road in front of the van, causing PC Pitcher to break and stop the vehicle. The defendant then ‘exposed her backside’ and carried on walking.

Mr Allman said after Place had been detained Porter turned on the police officer.

James Heyworth, defending Porter, said there were positives and negatives to her character. The previous conviction for violence went back to 2005, when she was a teenager. He added: “The Facebook messages do her no credit.”
