A woman has been given a conditional discharge after she admitted spitting at another woman after a six year-long row erupted in a Shropshire supermarket car park.
Prosecutor Kate Price said the Spooner's victim had seen the 31-year-old approach her car at about 2.12pm 'looking angry'.
The row continued and Spooner, of Hawthorn Way, Market Drayton, spat at the other woman through a gap in the car window which had been wound down. Ms Price said the row erupted after Spooner had seen the other woman driving erratically and tailgating her.Kate Cooper, defending, said Spooner had made a full and frank admission and knew her victim because she used to be her driving instructor. She had changed her instructor.The court agreed to make a derogatory assertion order which prevents the publication of derogatory or defamatory statements made in court about the victim in the defendant's defence.
Magistrates handed down a 12 month conditional discharge and told Spooner that they do not expect to see her back before them, warning her to stay out of trouble.The bench decided not to order Spooner to pay her victim compensation because risks making the situation worse.
