A violent lout has been locked up after assaulting three police officers just hours after being in court for similar offending.
Patricia Hewitt was jailed earlier this year for attacking a constable and was given a community order on July 21 for assaulting another. However, undeterred and just hours after walking out the court room, the 38-year-old returned to form and lashed out while in a hospital waiting room.
A court heard that, after appearing in the dock, Hewitt was taken to the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI), in Newcastle city centre, where she suddenly turned aggressive and abusive towards police and medical staff. She then kicked two officers in the legs, leaving one with bruising, prosecutors said.
