A WOMAN admitted she was an ‘idiot’ after pleading guilty to a charge of drunk and disorderly.

Sara Arnold, 30, of Parade Street, Barrow, appeared at South Cumbria Magistrates’ Court where she admitted to being drunk in a public place.

The incident occurred on August 9 in Hawke Street where she was arrested for being drunk, while causing disorderly behaviour.

Prosecutor Pam Ward told the court: “The defendant was shouting and swearing.

“She was seen being aggressive towards police, who were on scene.”

Reading a statement out in court, prosecutor Ms Ward said Arnold had been shouting:‘I haven’t got my phone’.

Arnold told the court: “I’m an idiot and I’m my own worst enemy.”

Arnold’s behaviour breached section 91(1) of the Criminal Justice Act 1967.

District Judge Gerald Chalk fined Arnold £40.

He also ordered her to pay a surcharge to fund victim services of £32 and pay costs of £85 to the Crown Prosecution Service, totalling £157.

Arnold will have to pay the full amount by September 25.
