A South Shields mum has been jailed after breaching a suspended sentence order by drunkenly biting a police officer's thumb.
Susan Rigg, who also goes by the name 'Gypsy Star', was serving a suspended sentence when she hurled abuse at two police officers and then bit one of them.
The 68-year-old carried out the violent attack despite calling the police herself and asking for their help to be "re-housed".
