Vicious Bethany Turner bit and spat at police officers after telling them she had Covid-19 at the height of the pandemic.
Police were called out to arrest Turner on November 15 2020 and found her drunk in bed. She used her body weight to try to resist being arrested and bit a PC on the index finger.
Having been taken to a police station, she began saying she had tested positive for covid. Andrew Findlay, prosecuting, told Newcastle Crown Court: "This was at the height of the pandemic and there was understandable concern and she was told to wear a face mask and she refused, claiming she had a medical condition that meant she couldn't wear one.
