The Court , after considering Antoinette Rizzo's criminal record and the fact that she had apologised and cooperated with the police, jailed her for one year suspended for three years and fined her €500 together with a €230 guarantee that she did not molest the policemen again.

The woman had been accused of having bitten two police officers and scratched a third in the face.
