Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a woman has been sentenced to prison after she was convicted of four counts of assault and a racially aggravated public order offence in Woodstock.
Vivien Fawdrey, aged 30, of New Road, Woodstock, was convicted of the offences in a hearing at Oxford Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (13/7).
She was subsequently jailed for 20 weeks and ordered to pay £400 in compensation divded between the four victims.
At just before 10pm on 10 December last year, Fawdrey had been at a party in the Brotherton Brasserie in Woodstock and became intoxicated and aggressive.
Fawdrey starting fighting with people at the public house and staff tried to remove her from the premises.
She assaulted staff and members of her own work party, kicking, hitting, scratching, punching and biting her four victims, three women and one man.
Officers located Fawdrey and arrested her, and while en route to custody, she made a racially aggravated remark towards one of the officers.
Fawdrey was charged on 10 June with the offences.
PC Sarah Finch, based at Witney police station, said: “Fawdrey showed a blatant disregard for people and their property and committed these offences while she was already subject to a community order.
“This wilful and persistent failure to comply with the order, plus the unprovoked nature of these assaults warranted a custodial sentence, and I am pleased that the courts have treated this very seriously.
“Her behaviour was wholly unacceptable, and I hope that she uses her time in prison to reflect on her actions.”
