They were sentenced for a combined 40 weeks
Two violent sisters were jailed for spitting at police officers and hitting one with a crutch after they were caught flouting lockdown rules.
Danielle and Sarah Pryor were being loud and abusive when they were approached by two officers who spotted them while on patrol in Retford, Nottinghamshire. PC Oivind Merrygold and PC David Hauton warned them about their anti-social behaviour before telling them to go home at 11.25pm on Monday. But the sisters became aggressive and started egging each other on to cough and spit at the officers before Sarah, 33, was arrested. Danielle, 34, then grabbed a crutch from a member of the public and smashed PC Merrygold in the shin before scratching his face with her fingernails.
More officers arrived and as they bundled Danielle into a police car she repeatedly spat at them. As they were being driven to a police station Sarah lashed out at officers, kicking an officer on the arm.The sisters, both of Retford, admitted two assaults on an emergency worker and breaching Covid-19 regulations at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court.
