Overview
- Jacqui Byrne pleaded guilty at Warrington Magistrates' Court to three assaults on police and received a £200 fine plus £165 in costs and a surcharge.
- The offences occurred on January 3 at her Pickmere home, where she elbowed one officer and kicked another during arrest and custody.
- Prosecutors said the case fell into the highest category because a shod foot was used, despite no injuries being reported by the officers.
- Her solicitor cited menopause-related emotional difficulties, grief over her brother, and engagement with NHS and private mental-health support as mitigation.
- Magistrates considered but declined compensation due to the lack of injuries, and Cheshire Police took no further action over the underlying domestic incident.
