Retford woman's 999 hoax calls

A Retford woman who bombarded police with hoax 999 calls also assaulted an officer when he came to arrest her, a court heard.

Amy Corringham rang 999 and the non-emergency 101 number to make "false reports" and also rang back "to say sorry about previous hoxes and then became abusive to staff," said prosecutor Donna Fawcett.

"Numerous visits by police were made to her address or to arrest her," she said.

On January 21, a constable came to her home and as the handcuffs were being put on her wrists, she kicked and kneed him.
