A SOUTHAMPTON woman attacked four police officers who were called to an altercation. Phoebe Starr bit one officer and headbutted another during an incident on September 19, a court heard. The bite is said to have broken the officer’s skin while another suffered a bruised nose. According to police, officers were flagged down and called to reports of an altercation in Bullar Road. The 23-year-old of Queen’s Terrace who was “under the influence” at the time was charged with four counts of assaulting an emergency worker to which she pleaded guilty. Mitigating, solicitor, Nigel Cozens said the event was a complete one-off and her first recollection was when she woke up in the police cell.
The crown prosecution service said his total sales were “clearly above £50,000. Probably more.” There were a high quantity of counterfeit items which were being sold at a substantial mark up, the court heard. The prosecution put forward it was clear the business had been going on for some years. Ricketts, of Nursery Gardens in Eastleigh is said to have bought the fake goods from a supplier in China. However, after receiving complaints in January this year he stopped selling the jewellery. Ricketts previously pleaded guilty to three counts of selling goods with a sign likely to be mistaken for a registered trademark.
