A Sandys woman has been remanded into custody pending trial on charges of assaulting and threatening a police officer.

Appearing in Magistrates’ Court yesterday, Nichole Lambert, 46, pleaded not guilty to violently resisting arrest.

According to prosecutor Larissa Burgess, the incident took place in Paget on Wednesday morning.

While Ms Lambert was being arrested for another offence, she is alleged to have assaulted the officer, saying: “You f***ing foreigners, you’re just here for a paycheque.”

She is also accused of threatening the officer, telling him she would “f*** you up” when she was released.

Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner remanded the defendant into custody. Her trial is set to take place this morning.
