A woman who assaulted police officers is given a chance to change her life or risk going to prison. She must confront her alcohol issues seriously.
Penryn: A woman named Danielle Prosser has been in trouble again. She assaulted two police officers while they tried to arrest her for shoplifting. This all happened after she stole alcohol from a local shop.
Last summer, she was caught on camera taking bottles of wine and sweets. When the police showed up at her home, she got aggressive. She even pulled one officer’s hair and pushed her toward a window.
During the struggle, another officer got pushed back and broke a window. It took tear gas to finally restrain her. The court heard that this wasn’t her first offense. She has a long history of shoplifting and assault.
The shop owner shared how shoplifting affects his business. It’s not just about losing money; it’s also the time wasted dealing with these incidents. Prosser, 32, has 12 convictions for various offenses, including assaulting a police officer.
In court, her lawyer said she had a tough childhood and has struggled with alcohol for years. But now, she wants to change. She’s been sober for a while and is attending Alcoholics Anonymous.
The judge told her she needs to accept her alcoholism. He warned her that if she drinks again, she could end up in prison or worse. He gave her a suspended sentence but made it clear this is her last chance.
She has to stick to her alcohol treatment plan and stay out of trouble. If she doesn’t, she’ll go straight to jail. It’s a tough road ahead, but it sounds like she’s ready to try.
