Woman sentenced nine months for spitting on a Police officer

A lady who racially abused one police officer and spat in his face was sentenced to nine months in prison.

Last week, Megan Hill attacked two police officers who had been dispatched to a disturbance in Radford in an offensive manner.

Police were summoned to Forest Road East at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nottingham Crown Court was told.

The 26-year-old then grew hostile, necessitating the team’s intervention to control her.

She then spat in the face of one cop and was arrested after becoming even more agitated.

When Hill was being held by the police, she attacked another person repeatedly on the basis of race.

PC Chris Wilson, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: ‘Our officers dedicate their lives to helping people and simply do not deserve to be abused in this abhorrent manner.

‘No police officer, or indeed any emergency service worker, should have to deal with this – it should never simply be considered as just a part of the job.

‘Nottinghamshire Police has a complete zero-tolerance against all forms of hate crime and will not hesitate to take robust action against anyone who behaves this way.

‘Hill crossed a line by acting in the manner she did, and I sincerely hope she uses her time in prison to reflect on her actions and try to better herself.’

She admitted assaulting an emergency worker and a racially aggravated public order offence.

On top of her prison term, Hill, of Carrington, Nottingham, was also ordered to pay £100 in compensation to the two victims.
