A 29-year-old woman "danced" to avoid arrest after kicking a policewoman in the head during a couple's "out of the blue" attack on officers outside an Onekawa bar.
Samantha Jane Whyatt and Kingi Burton , 28, appeared in Napier District Court yesterday and both pleaded guilty to assaulting, obstructing and resisting police.
Police were called to the Sideline Bar on Taradale Rd about 11.20pm last Thursday after reports of a family "causing trouble", harassing the bouncers and starting to "act up".
When two constables arrived Whyatt was "highly intoxicated" and involved in a "scuffle" with her sister. Burton wrapped his arms around the male constable and told police "to get lost".
Burton was arrested but as he struggled and swung his arms "violently" punched the male officer in the face and cut his lip.
