Wick woman attempted to punch a police officer outside Inverness rehab facility

A Wick woman attempted to punch a police officer and threw her phone at another when she was refused entry to an Inverness rehab facility.

Holly Mackay (27) was found by police at a Dingwall roundabout and taken back to Beechwood House in Inverness in the early hours of February 28.

When they arrived back, Mackay was denied entry by the staff at the facility.

Mackay then threw her phone at officers and swung at a police officer but missed.

Fiscal depute Anna Boyle told Sheriff Fitzgerald at Inverness Sheriff Court: “Mackay continued to lash out and resisted arrest.

“She was then handcuffed and taken to Burnett Road Police Station.”

Mackay, who appeared from custody on an unrelated matter, pleaded guilty to assault and resisting arrest.

Sheriff Fitzgerald fined Mackay a total of £400.
