A jury has heard how Wendy Ingemann, who is accused of glassing Tanya Darrell in the face in a nightclub, denied any knowledge of how she sustained her injuries.

"It would never happen. Ever, ever. If I'm gonna do something stupid to somebody to go to jail and lose everything I've got, Tanya Darrell is the last person, the very last person in this world I would do time over. Trust me," she told detectives who interviewed her after her arrest.

Ingemann, according to the prosecution, attacked Ms Darrell inside the now-defunct Splash venue on Bermudiana Road in the early hours of February 10 last year.

Ms Darrell has told the jury that the defendant threw wine over her before smashing the glass on her cheek, leaving a deep wound.

A second blow followed, to the back of her ear, which she also attributed to Ingemann. This fractured her skull and she needed plastic surgery after the incident.

Cross-examining Ms Darrell earlier last week, Ingemann's lawyer Elizabeth Christopher outlined the defence case as being that Ingemann had punched her in the jaw – but had not struck her with any weapon. Ms Darrell denied this and stuck to the allegation that Ingemann glassed her.

Ms Christopher also alleged that Ms Darrell made unpleasant phone calls to Ingemann in February 2006, and from then up to summer 2006 left nasty messages on her phone and sent unpleasant texts. She also denied this.

The jury heard a tape on Friday of a Police interview with Ingemann the day after the incident. In it, she denied being involved in any physical altercation with Darrell in the club that night.

She complained that for almost a year, since she got involved with Tokia Russell, the father of Ms Darrell's son: "Tanya has been constantly – and I don't know what words to use – but she's constantly harassing me, she's calling me. She's harassing my children or whoever answers the phone. She is f*****g them off."

She claimed the Police weren't doing anything about her complaints and that her arrest was "a nightmare" because she had no idea how Ms Darrell received her injuries that night.

Ingemann claimed she heard someone shout the word 'whore' to her 17-year-old daughter Shante Ingemann while they were inside Splash. She told the Police she turned around to see Darrell there, and because of past harassment from Ms Darrell, decided that she and her friends would leave the club.

"All I know is I know what I saw, and I saw her when she said 'whore'. I turned and I saw her and that's when I gripped my daughter and said 'come on let's go'. She was way over there," she told the Police.

"If I could get from here to there without moving or stretching, okay, fine, whatever. Okay. But I'm not Stretch Armstrong and I've not got jelly arms."

Ingemann claimed that she was arrested outside the club, pinned up against a Police van, and Ms Darrell proceeded to punch her while her hands were handcuffed behind her back.

"I have never ever had any altercation with Tanya anywhere, other than she came up and hit me in my face outside when I was handcuffed by PC Rose," she claimed.

The court later heard from Detective Constable Rhonda Pitt, one of the interviewing officers, that Ingemann repeatedly refused a request for her to give fingerprints so they could be compared to a broken glass outside Splash.

The officer also told the jury she'd reported the accused to Child and Family Services for having her underage daughter in the nightclub with her.

Ingemann denies assaulting Ms Darrell with intent to cause her grievous bodily harm. She further denies following Ms Darrell's friend Deniqua Robinson outside the club into Bermudiana Road and threatening her with the glass before violently resisting arrest.

The case continues.
