A mum who breached a home curfew then blamed her dodgy internet signal today walked free from court.
Louise Whelan was handed an 18-month community order in October last year for a catalogue of "disgraceful" offences. They included threatening behaviour - when she claimed to have coronavirus and "threatened to infect" others - assaulting a police officer and a detention officer, and shoplifting.
As part of that sentence, the 31-year-old, of Rankin Street, Poulton, was hit with a four-month home curfew, between 7pm and 7am daily. But the serial offender today admitted failing to comply with the electronically tagged curfew.
