- By BARNEY SAMUELS news@ sundayspor­t. co. uk

TWO women who were caught short and “could not wait” in a queue for the ladies in a pub shat in crisp packets.

And when door staff remonstrat­ed with Kelly Watkins and Sarah Ford, they emptied the ploppy contents over the bouncers – sparking a “near- riot” in which three were injured.

Pals Watkins and Ford had been drinking all day at the pub in Burnley, Lancs – which cannot be named for legal reasons – after Watkins won £ 500 on a scratchcar­d, a court was told.

Magistrate­s heard that as the pub began to fill up with punters for the traditiona­l Friday early evening happy hour, doormen came on duty.

The court was told that both Watkins and Ford were “known to door staff” after previous incidents.

Streak

John Green, prosecutin­g, said: “As the evening wore on the defendants became increasing­ly vocal.

“Around 9pm they decided to go to the lavatory but, finding all the cubicles were occupied, made their displeasur­e known to all and sundry.

“They then proceeded to solicit other hostelry patrons for empty crisp packets, before defecating in said packets – next to the fruit machines.

“When door staff took the pair to task, a scuffle ensued, during which one of the doormen received a streak of excrement on his shoulder.

“When other patrons came to the aid of the defendants, the scuffle developed into a melee and police officers were called to the scene, upon which, the defendants were arrested.”

Defending, Alan Kirby, said the pair were attempting to PLOP BABES: Kelly Watkins ( top) and Sarah Ford pleaded guilty become pillars of the local community and had not been in trouble with the police for “several months” before the incident on Friday, June 30.

Watkins, 31, and Ford, 34, both pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly and public order offences.

They were each fined £ 200, ordered to pay £ 150 costs and a £ 150 victim surcharge.

Additional­ly, they were ordered to pay a bouncer whose suit was befouled £ 50 compo and they’ve been banned from every pub in Burnley for 12 months.

Outside the court Watkins refused to comment while Ford quipped: “F** k off!”
