A drunken bridesmaid’s misbehaviour at her sister’s wedding landed her in a police cell where she attacked a police officer.

Caitlin Marie Haston, 19, from Glan Conwy was extremely drunk when she was found sitting outside Soughton Hall.

She was slurring her words and shouting abuse at people and police officers tried to calm her down and encouraged her to call it a night and go to bed.

But barely able to stand Haston refused to give her name to the officers and later lashed out after being arrested, kicking PC Sarah Hughes-Jones twice in her knee.

Prosecutor Robert Blakemore said: “This should have been a very happy occasion as she [Haston] was a bridesmaid at her sister’s wedding - but drink got the better of her.”

North East Wales Magistrates’ Court sitting at Mold heard Haston claimed she was going to walk home, but the prosecutor added: “She lives near Llandudno. The officer asked her to calm down and go to bed. But she started to shout abuse at the officers and other family members.”

Numerous attempts were made to get Haston to return to her bedroom, but eventually she was arrested, and swore at the officers. When the cell door on the van was shut on her she started to kick and headbutt it.

She was taken to a holding cell at Wrexham Police Station, but tried to break free and struggled with the officers.

She headbutted a door and was making threats to kill herself, so the officers removed her clothing and placed her to the floor. But she kicked out at PC Hughes-Jones and shouted: “I hope your kids have Asperger’s and I hope they effing hate you”.

Magistrates were told Haston had been due to start her forensic psychology and criminology degree at Liverpool University on the day of her appearance in court.

She told police she had been drinking though the wedding day and started arguing. She said she kicked out because she wanted the officers “to get off her”.

Haston, of Maes Hyfryd, Glan Conwy near Llandudno Junction admitted being drunk and disorderly and assaulting a police officer in the execution of his duty on August 25 this year.

Simon Sargeant, defending, said Haston became embroiled in an argument with her father, who she had not seen for some time.

“They were both intoxicated and there was an argument between them which increased in ferocity. Her recollection is vague, but she accepts responsibility and has made admissions. She doesn’t normally drink and this was out of character for her.”

The probation service felt punishment of unpaid work or a curfew were inappropriate as Haston was moving to Liverpool and the suggestion was that she may have to change her course as “her chances of going on to obtain a job in the criminal justice system were minimal”.

Haston was fined £190 and ordered to pay £150 compensation to PC Hughes and Chairman of the North East Wales Magistrates’ Court bench Deborah McKinnel told her: “This was completely disgraceful behaviour and it is very rare that we listen to such a disappointing story as yours. You have a binge drinking problem and you don’t realise cause and effects, but you have learnt the hard way.”

Haston was also told to pay court costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £30.
