Mum attacked cops in drug-fuelled street brawl after fearing they were going to kidnap and murder her
A MUM attacked police in a drug-fuelled street brawl after fearing they were going to kidnap and murder her. Ashleigh Marsh flew into a rage when cops were called over her erratic behaviour. 6 The 26-year-old had spotted a shovel in the boot of a patrol car and believed she was being kidnapped by a gang posing as police officers. She kicked a female cop in the chest before attacking other officers as they attempted to overpower her. Marsh later admitted she had taken an unnamed drug two days earlier after struggling to sleep. She pleaded guilty to assaulting a constable in the execution of their duty but avoided a jail term. The budding beautician was instead handed a 12 month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £111 in costs and a surcharge. Chester Magistrates' Court heard officers had received "numerous" calls over Marsh screaming in the street on May 25. Prosecutor Heather Bell said: "She was running up and down saying 'Who is there?' and acting erratically. "Police attended the scene, the defendant was assessed by paramedics and it was deemed that she did have capacity. "They urged her to go to hospital for observation due to her erratic behaviour but she did not want to go to the hospital. "She wanted to stay at her mother's house but there were children there and it was not appropriate for her to stay there." The court heard Marsh became "extremely irate" as she was taken to the cop car and believed she would be shot and buried in a shallow grave. Ms Bell continued: "They were taking her out of the police vehicle when the defendant put her left foot into the chest of PC Potter. "At that point they removed her from the car and take her to the floor. She continued to resist arrest and kicked out with her legs at the officers. I could not see any injuries mentioned." Marsh, who has no previous convictions, denied she had mental health problems but admitted she had taken drugs. The mum-of-two also apologised for her behaviour and said she genuinely believed the officers were going to "kill her and bury her". Her lawyer Catherine Davies said Marsh had gone into "fight or flight mode" and was "absolutely petrified". She added: "On that weekend there was a build up with emotions and a decline in her mental health. She has never behaved like this before. It was completely out of character. "It was just all far too much. She could not cope any more. She is a young lady feeling very lost at the moment. ''She did not deliberately hit out. She was having a crisis.'' 6 6 6
