A TEENAGE mourner found lying on the ground drunk after a funeral started trouble when police called an ambulance, a court heard.
Lauren Sweeney became argumentative and unco-operative and shouted and swore at officers and the ambulance crew.
She then pushed the paramedics aside and ran off, still screaming.
The 18-year old was arrested but later could recall nothing of what went on, Burnley magistrates heard.
Sweeney, of Charles Street, Nelson, admitted being drunk and disorderly, on August 17.
She was fined £65 with £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge and got a word of warning from a judge.
Andrew Robinson, prosecuting, said police were called to Bond Street, Nelson, at 7.15 pm and found the defendant on the floor, very drunk and incoherent.
She stood up, was unsteady on her feet, then became aggressive and was shouting and swearing.
