Single mum who works at Sports Direct slapped police officer in the face

A Sports Direct worker slapped a police officer with force in the face after they attended a domestic incident at her home. Two officers arrived at Amy Bird's address in Enderby Square, Lenton Abbey, on November 24 last year.

Nottingham Magistrates' Court heard Bird and her partner had been arguing and a decision was made to separate the parties, with her partner taken into the kitchen and the door closed. But Bird opened the kitchen door and forced her way in.

"She said, 'you can't stop me going into my own kitchen'," said Beth Leigh, prosecuting, on Friday (January 6). Bird then assaulted one of the officers, striking one in the face him with an open palm, causing pain and discomfort.
