TRICIA MULLEN: WOMAN CONVICTED OF BATTERING FORMER PARTNER DURING BORDERS HOLIDAY
A woman named Tricia Mullen, aged 52 and of Shiremoor, Northumberland, was convicted at Jedburgh Sheriff Court of assaulting her partner during their stay at a Borders holiday park.
The incident occurred on August 21 at Lilliardsedge.
The court was told that the couple had been drinking alcohol in the caravan park bar before returning to their accommodation, where the man fell asleep on the couch.
Prosecutor Chelsea Martin stated that when the man woke up, Mullen was kicking and punching him and scratching his face.
Police received a call at 10.05pm from park security reporting a woman claiming she had been assaulted.
When officers arrived, they observed that Mullen had no injuries and she claimed she could not remember what happened and did not want to give a statement.
Officers traced the man in Jedburgh, who had injuries to his face and stated that he asked Mullen what she was doing when she was striking him.
Mullen made no reply when arrested.
She was fined £300 plus a £20 victim surcharge.
The sheriff did not impose a non-harassment order, deeming it unnecessary.
