District Judge Francis Rafferty remarked that it was assaults on police in the course of duty when they came to her address.

Mr Rafferty said they were serious matters and the custodial threshold had been passed.

He said that a short pre-sentence report was required as there was risk of custody.

Adourning the case until July 18, the judge told Black not to miss any appointments with the Probation Service.
