A woman threatened a security guard with a hammer and spat at police officers on two occasions. She also assaulted a man who offered her a home and threatened to burn his house down.
Cerys Chamberlain, 30, was involved in a number of incidents prior to her appearance at Cardiff Crown Court on Thursday. The first took place at a hostel in Crosskeys, Caerphilly, on October 7 last year when she accused other residents of bullying her. Security guard Jackson Holland called the police after the defendant took a hammer from her handbag, raised it above her head, and waved it.
On December 6 last year police were called to an address in Aberdare after Chamberlain had taken an overdose. Paramedics were at the scene when the defendant awoke in a confused state and became aggressive and verbally abusive. When a PC Young stepped in between Chamberlain and a paramedic she was spat at on her clothes.
