A WOMAN twerked her bum into the crotch of a male bobby as he searched her and said: “Tell me to behave some more,” a court heard.
Sophie Brown, 24, was told by officers they needed to search her after she became embroiled in a late-night disturbance.
They warned her they were about to search her back pockets which led her to stick out her bum and say: “Course you are,” JPs were told.
She was then handcuffed and placed in the back of the police van but managed to get out of the cuffs.
The mum-of-one threw them at one of the cops before getting out of the van “with her legs akimbo” and told him: “Go on. Arrest me for more.”
Prosecutor Alex Steadward told Scarborough magistrates’ court that Brown was arrested after police turned up to deal with another late-night incident in the town on December 2 last year.
The officers were going to let her off with a caution until they began to search her.
Mr Steadward said: “She stuck her bum in the area of his crotch. He moved and told her she needed to behave. She replied she would not behave.”
She was arrested and handcuffed but managed to get out of them on the way to Scarborough’s police station.
When they arrived and one officer opened the back door she threw the handcuffs at him, the court heard.
Mr Steadward added: “The officer said they just missed him. As he tried to get Miss Brown out the back of the van she began shouting ‘Rape’.
He interpreted that as her accusing him of rape.
“She got out of the van with her legs akimbo and told the officer: ‘Go on. Arrest me for more’.
“He regarded that remark as sexual. She was giggling and moving about.
“He told her to behave. She laughed and said ‘Tell me to behave some more’.
“As they entered the custody area she suddenly bent over and pushed her bum into the officer’s crotch area.”
The former barmaid was charged with sex assault and assaulting a police officer.
She was found not guilty of the sex assault but admitted the assault charge.
Magdeburg Singh Sachdave, mitigating, said: “She had mixed her prescribed anti-depressants with alcohol. She is devastated by her behaviour that evening and wanted to offer her apologies to the PC concerned.”
She was fined £135 with a £54 surcharge and £135 court costs.
