Woman lashed out at police

A woman hit out at police in a car park and abused Ninewells Hospital staff.

Leann Tolmie also kicked a police officer after her arrest on Friday in the car park of B&Q on King’s Cross Road.

Dundee Sheriff Court heard how officers were called out after Tolmie was said to have caused a disturbance at the store at around 3pm.

Tolmie stumbled towards the police car and was incoherent when speaking with officers.

Fiscal depute Christine

Allan said: “An ambulance was summoned and the accused was asked to sit in the police vehicle.”

She was disruptive and kicked an officer on the shin.

Tolmie was taken to Ninewells after concerns about her condition.

On waking the next morning Tolmie, of Honeygreen Road, removed monitoring equipment before shouting and swearing at staff.

She appeared from custody to admit assaulting PC Martyn Evans by kicking him on the leg, shouting, swearing, acting aggressively and kicking the inside of a police vehicle on King’s Cross Road on February 26.

The following day, Tolmie shouted, swore, acted aggressively and kicked hospital equipment.

She also admitted a separate charge of breaching a bail curfew on February 25.

Sheriff Alison Michie deferred sentence on Tolmie until later this month and remanded her in custody.
