Mum’s cop punch fine

A MUM of five punched a policeman in the stomach as her husband was arrested, magistrates heard.

Lucy Avilez, 38, had earlier been drinking with her partner when a row broke out and police were called.

After tracking the pair to the Crown & Mitre Hotel in Carlisle, officers found she had small amounts of amphetamine and cocaine.

Avilez, of Dalbeattie, Scotland, admitted assault and drug possession at Carlisle magistrates court.

She was ordered to pay £200 and given a 12-month community order.
