Suspended sentence for Ballynure woman who was disorderly at hospital where she locked herself in a toilet

A woman who was disorderly at Antrim Area Hospital where she kicked a sign, shouted and swore at staff and locked herself in a toilet, has received a suspended sentence.

She later attempted to get out of a moving car in Antrim town and was again disorderly, a court was told.

Andrea Kelso (56), of Main Street, Ballynure, admitted two charges of being disorderly on March 31 last year.

A previous court was told that the defendant was in breach of suspended sentence for disorderly behaviour.

At that court a defence lawyer said that the defendant had "behaved completely disgracefully" at the hospital.

Sentencing had been deferred to see if the defendant could stay out of trouble and now a court was told that there had been no further offences.

At Ballymena Magistrates Court, on Thursday, January 22, the defendant received a three months prison term, suspended for one year
