$400 fine for cursin g out cops
An angry Warwick woman was invited back into a Police Station after cursing repeatedly at officers, Magistrates' Court heard.
Crown counsel Robert Welling told the court Tiffany Smith, 32, of 12 Random Lane, told officers at the Hamilton Police Station: "F**k you! F**k you! You can't stop me from cursing.
"You're not even from Bermuda, go the f**k home!"
Smith used the words while being released for another matter at around 1 a.m. on May 26.
She was warned about her language, before she continued shouting obscenities at them while walking along Parliament Street, before she was arrested for using offensive words in public.
When Acting Magistrate Justin Williams asked Smith to explain herself, she replied: "I went outside and they (Police) man-handled me, threw me up against the wall and that's why I used the language."
It was also revealed Smith failed to show in court on May 10, for a charge of driving a car without third-party insurance — which she also admitted.
Mr. Williams fined her $400 for the offensive words and $1,000 for not having insurance.
