Drunken naked knife woman’s attack on cops

-

A NAKED woman who was seen shouting and swearing and holding a knife before assaulting two cops has appeared in court.

Elizabeth Roulston, 45, was screaming at a couple who had run out of a property before she appeared at the window with no clothes on, telling them to “f**k off”.

She reappeared at the window holding a large knife and when police officers tried to gain entry she began stabbing at the front door with the blade.

Cops used a taser on Roulston, but while they were removing the gadget’s electric barbs she kicked them both in the leg during the April 18 incident.

Roulston, of Marston Magna, Somerset, appeared in the dock at Yeovil where she pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting a police officer.

Prosecutor Emma Lenanton said: “She had to be tasered so officers could take control of her.”

Roulston said she had been drinking all day and had no memory of the incident.

She was given an 18-month conditiona­l discharge and ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge.
