A DRUNKEN woman caused trouble when police arrived at a major disturbance in Burnley, the town's magistrates heard.

Amy Morton, 46, who was demanding to be let through a police cordon, was unsteady on her feet, slurring her words and was arrested.

She then lunged at an officer who took her arm, threatened to "have him" and said she would "do every copper in".

The defendant, of Hudson Street, Burnley, admitted using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour.

Morton was given a 12 months conditional discharge.

The court was told police were called to Cog Lane, Burnley, in July. Morton was shouting and swearing at police.

Neil Cronin, defending, said Morton accepted she had been in drink and her language was inappropriate.
