A mother-of-three spat pepper spray back into a police officer s eye after it was fired into her face and mouth as she was arrested.
Jess Heath, 30, had shouted aggressively and twice spat at authorities arresting her in Bristol on September 24 last year.
But it came after they deployed a pepper spray type fluid called PAVA – so called because of its ingredient pelargonic acid vanillylamide – on her when she struggled against them.
Bristol Magistrates Court heard on Thursday she admitted assaulting and resisting PC Weekes when he was doing his duty.
Prosecutor Laura Opie said police attended a Sea Mills address in the middle of the night following a 999 call about an incident, which did not itself lead to any charge.

An Amazon worker drank seven pints before driving on the M4 – then crashed and rolled his car.
Gareth Jones, of Clare Road in Speedwell, had relapsed after a long battle with alcohol addiction when his Vauxhall Astra collided with two other cars near the Pilning Interchange.
Wearing a fleece pullover, the Amazon engineer appeared at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (February 25) and admitted drink-driving, without due care and attention.
Prosecutor Laura Opie said the 36-year-old dad-of-two crashed at about 10pm on July 9 last year.
