A WOMAN who had to be restrained by half a dozen door staff, hurled racist abuse at a taxi marshal and kicked police after a night out in Swindon has been put under a curfew and ordered to do unpaid work.

Swindon magistrates heard Kelsea Sadler, of Sheringham Court, kicked off after leaving Boston Brothers, in the town centre on August 20.

Pauline Lambert, prosecuting, said the 19-year-old was preventing door staff from removing barriers and closing up and they had to resort to moving her physically.

Phillip Williams, who was there to help revellers find taxis home, saw Sadler kicking out and throwing punches.

When the door staff took her to the ground he decided to help and took hold of her arms and legs to help restrain her.

She shouted at him, using racially offensive terms up to 15 times.

“It was the worst racial abuse he has ever been a victim to,” said Ms Lambert.

“While being taken to the police van she kicks out at the police officer, hitting him in the chest.

“He says: ‘Don’t kick me’ and she kicks him again.”

In a statement Mr Williams said he accepted people called him names and were abusive to him when he was doing his job but he should not be subjected to racial abuse.

“People usually shout it once and realise what they are saying and it is wrong,” he said. “I feel that she hated me because of the colour of my skin and she had no shame in shouting racial comments at me.”

Sadler, who had no previous convictions, admitted intending to cause racially aggravated harassment to Mr Williams with threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour.

She also admitted assaulting PC Christopher Wickham.

A Probation Service report said Sadler, who lived with her grandmother and was working on a zero hours contract at Honda, had demonstrated remorse for her actions.

She was on a night out with friends and her cousin and when most of them left the nightclub she realised one was missing.

She looked over the barrier to see if her cousin was still inside and was approached by the door staff.

She had no idea what happened next but she found herself on the ground and struggling to breathe. Sadler accepted her behaviour did not help and by the time police arrived she was angry. Although she accepted she kicked the police officer twice, she was not aiming at him the second time.

On the night she was under the influence of alcohol, but she only went out about once a month and her drinking was not a cause for concern. However she did admit to having anger problems.

She claimed she did not have a racist attitude but would pick on something if she wanted to hurt someone.

The bench imposed a nine-month community order with 10 rehabilitation activity days.

They also ordered her to be electronically tagged and under a curfew form 7pm to 8am for three months, as well as carrying out 60 hours of unpaid work.

Sadler also has to pay £100 compensation to Mr Williams, £85 prosecution costs and £85 towards victim services.
