A DRUNKEN and disorderly Marymass reveller who assaulted police officers and supermarket staff has been placed on a night-time curfew - after her lawyer claimed she had 'remorse' but 'little recollection' of the attacks.

Jasmine Arthur was heavily intoxicated at the time of the incident, having taken in "a significant amount of alcohol" during the popular annual festival's Saturday celebrations in Irvine earlier this year.

The 21-year-old appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court on Tuesday, September 24, to be sentenced having pleaded guilty to a number of offences from August 24.

She made admissions to a total of seven charges when she first appeared, with the case deferred until this week for background reports to be prepared.

Of her earlier guilty pleas, four related to assault of either shop staff from the Stevenston Morrisons store or police officers.

Court papers detail that one retail worker was assaulted after Arthur kicked him on the body.

Three PCs were assaulted during the incident, with one being seized on the hand before their finger was bent back, and Arthur attempted to bite another while at the Kilwinning Road store.

Then, while at Saltcoats police office, she went on to assault another who she repeatedly kicked on the head and body to her injury.

During the incident, court papers state that Arthur also resisted, obstructed or hindered a total of four constables.

She done so by dropping to the floor, placing her arms under her body in an attempt to prevent the application of handcuffs, and lashing out with her arms and legs.

A further charge added that, while en route from the supermarket to the police station, Arthur also behaved in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting, swearing and acting aggressively.

A final charge related to Arthur breaching her bail conditions during the incident, having previously been bailed with a special condition not to enter the town of Stevenston.

Defending, solicitor Peter Murray said that Arthur - who appeared from custody - was hoping to be released from jail and return to live with her mother in Cumbernauld.

Mr Murray said: "She moved to Ayrshire previously to be with her then partner – it proved to be something of a disaster for her."

The lawyer told the court that the offences took place while the 21-year-old was heavily under the influence, after drinking a "significant amount of alcohol" during Marymass weekend.

He added: "Against that context she has little recollection of the incident but it is no excuse.

"She has a high level of remorse and understands the link between misuse of alcohol and offending behaviour.

"She is acutely aware of the situation she has put herself in and is well aware that her period in custody may be extended today."

The solicitor asked Sheriff Colin Bissett to step away from a jail sentence, stating that Arthur had been alcohol free while in prison and had been taking advantage of a number of services available to her there - which would assist her if released.

Sheriff Bissett said: "I warned on the last occasion that I took a very serious view of this conduct at Morrisons in Stevenston, in particular kicking someone who worked there.

“I do take in to account, however, your age. There is some prospect of you being rehabilitated.

“One of my responsibilities to the public is to look into whether rehabilitation is possible.

“I am persuaded by what Mr Murray has said and the terms of the report.”

Arthur was placed on a community payback order, which will see her under social work supervision for the next 18 months.

Additionally, she will be required to remain within her home address between the hours of 7pm-7am each day for the next six months.

She was also ordered to complete 140 hours of unpaid work over the next six months.
