A drunken and "loutish" woman viciously attacked two of her neighbours in front of their young children. Shantell Featherstone bit a man on the arm during a bad-tempered confrontation in the street and later tried to grab his girlfriend by the throat, causing her to fall to the ground and chipping her front tooth.
The 46-year-old ignored all attempts to calm her down and kept falling over because of the sheer amount of alcohol that she had downed, a court heard. Stephen Robinson, prosecuting, said that there had been no previous problems between the victims and Featherstone, and that she was normally friendly.
The man became aware of a commotion outside in the street and saw that Featherstone was arguing with another neighbour. He went to investigate and there was a confrontation between him and Featherstone.
